DHCP problems, 98 clients not finding server

[manners]

Hello,

I have setup my windows 2000 server as a DHCP server for a small lan i have (three pcs). the windows xp machine have no problems and work fine. however the 98 machine doesnt find the dhcp server at all. using ipconfig /renew_all gives the error message "Cannot find DHCP server".

Also in windows 2000 using the dhcp console there is a blue explination mark over my server name - what does this indicate?

Thanks in advance.

Manners,

The blue explanation point indicates that your DHCP server has no addresses left to lease out. Check your scope. It must be configured incorrectly.
