December 17, 201113 yr Check on your DHCP server if the service is running and if it has any address assigned. -------------------------------------------------------- Tu peux aussi crire en franais.

December 18, 201113 yr Author My DHCP is running and i created a scope but when I connect my other workstation to the 2950 switch it doesn't get an IP address of the scope that I have created. What should I do?
December 24, 201113 yr Are you sure that the DHCP server is not behind a router and IS on the same network as the computer? Are you sure that in the scope 192.168.10.1 - 10 there are NO computers, routers, servers, ... which are using these addresses? -------------------------------------------------------- Tu peux aussi crire en franais.

March 25, 201212 yr make sure your router isnt running dhcp, then check in your server dhcp leases for conflicting stuff, 169 means temporary ip, it isnt seeing ur dhcp, soooo, try a static address within your set scope.
