WIN95 Clients cannot see DHCP

[tls9923]

I am trying to change my network to DHCP I currently have a mix of units some win95 to XP pro. I have 2 units connected to the same switch and I can change the XP Home unit to use DHCP but when I change the WIN95 to DHCP it cannot find the server any ideas??

You might need to manually enter the dns information for the win95 clients most likly the cant see the server because the cant resolve the host name.

Right now they cannot even get a IP address and gateway from the DHCP.
