DHCP

[jlcf]

I am running NT4.0 and I want to make a DHCP scope with more than 255 address. How do I do that?

"Versions of Windows NT DHCP server prior to Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 2 are not capable of assigning addresses from more than one scope to a given physical subnet. One workaround for this situation is to add additional network interface cards (NICs) to the server, and to address each of the NICs to a given logical IP subnet. This involves additional and otherwise unnecessary hardware, so a new solution was developed and implemented in SP2."

(from MS KB Q161571)

get the whole article - looks like it's your case.

Hope it'll help.

Try this...Change your subnet from Class C (255.255.255.0) to a class b(255.255.0.0)

I believe you can create a "superscope" to overcome this problem. It take pools of ip address and creates on big pool.

yes you can create a superscope... but think about it first.. it's not that easy to handle if you have a large environment... Peter Van Eeckhoutte
