Problem with DHCP server

[Vic88]

I installed DHCP on my NT 4 Server. It is set to exclude the Static IP address of the server's NIC. However, I assigns about three different IP addresses to the server. Whenever I ping the server, I obtain the NIC static Ip address.


What could I have done wrong

What are the addresses and how do you know they have been assigned?

If you have RAS loaded on the server, it will grab an extra IP address for each modem that you have connected to it. Also, when you say you reserved a static, do you mean that you used the reservations tool to reserve addresses on the DHCP server, or that you excluded the IP's used by the server from your scope range?

make sure that you have excluded all the static ip addresses assigned to the server. now see if you can ping the server by those ip addresses..
but tell me what are you doing with three ip addresses ?! i believe you have dns and are using the other ips for, say, virtual servers, then you must register them as records in dns. so, the server name will respond with one ip during ping operation. also you will have to configure dhcp by giving ip for dns and others(if needed..) in its global scope.
also remember what shackdadddy said about ras.
hope this helps you wiedersehn
