Thanks David. I gave the Vista machines static IP addresses. What is odd
is
that the Vista machines can not find the dhcp server. I don't see any requests from the Vista machines in the dhcp server logs. Is there a dhcp server broadcast that I need to set in the server that the Vista machines can recognize?
Thanks again,
~James
James, I think I found what you need. This looks like the solution to make Vista broadcast for an IP: http://www.techsupportforum.com/networking-forum/networking-support/310326-v ista-dhcp-failure-_-m-solution.html There are two solutions provided with the MS kb articles referenced. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`` Thanks again, David, but I had previously tried all of those to no avail. I think there is something dhcp server side that Vista is expecting. There is no firewall on the server and all other workstations get IP addresses. Greatly appreciate your help and suggestions. ~James -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I seem to recall having an issue with windows once, that if it felt a certain IP address belonged to it, where the dhcp server disagreed, windows would only request that address, disregard the NAK, and never send a DISCOVER request. If my memory isn't deceiving me here, the solution would then be to force it to release the address (something like ipconfig /release I believe, but I am very much not a windows user) Anders -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
