Hey guys, I can only use my Aironet 1130 with static IP's. I can't seem to get any dhcp addresses from my 2003 server. Any ideas? Do these not forward dhcp broadcast?
 
I am assuming that your 2003 server is running DHCP. Is the server subnet and the wireless network on different subnets? If so you will have to enable the DHCP broadcast to traverse the router so that your 2003 server is receiving the requests from clients on the other subnet. By default, most routers do not allow DCHP traffic to traverse subnets. Cisco uses IP Helper to accomplish this task.
