Can't get IP from DHCP

[200063]

Hi, Mates, I got a little problem here.
I use Vmware to build a Netware(6+sp3) server and a Windows Xp(sp2) in a small network.
The fixed IP was fine and there was no problem on pinging from client(10.1.1.2) to server(10.1.1.100). The DNS is also fine. It can resolve the server name as long as I told the client computer the address of DNS server.
I installed the DHCP by set paraments via iManager and DHCP/DNS management tool and type dhcpsrvr to active the DHCP and DNS server. I built a subnet (10.1.1.128, submask 255.255.255.128) and a subnet pool which contains this subnet.
Everything is just fine but the client computer can't get the IP address from the server. It's only 169.XXX.XXX.XXX.
The server (10.1.1.100) is my second server which has the same DHCP problem with the first server (10.1.1.1). I thought maybe I installed too many things on the first server, therefore, I shutdown the first and reinstall netware on the second. But the problem is still with me.
Can you guide me out of the puzzle?
Thank you :>

Urr, I'd like say something else.
I press the ctrl+ESC, I found the "NAMED" is on the list, but "DHCPSRVR" isn't on the list. I don't whether whether it should be there or not.
I run the command "DHCPSRVR" in the autoexec.ncf, and I check the iManager, the DHCPserver is running. I also use DHCP/DNS management console installed on the client to check, it's ok as well.
Any ideas?

When you say Small Network, what network infrastructure are you using (switches,hubs etc...) and do you have to configure DHCP pointers on these devices?

dhcpsrvr will not appear on the list
ctrl ec - shows the screens that are running - ie monitor , arcserve - something with a screen

dhcpsrvr doesnt have a screen - it's just an nlm

load it with debug

Yeah, Thank you, Terry.
The Debug mode of DHCPSRVR helps me extremely. It seems that I didn't set up the range of available IP for the subnet. I fixed it immediately when I saw the error. Thank you!!!
