I'm using W2K DHCP to lease ip's to 9x clients. Clients recieve lease ok but intermittently hang. No connectivity - check TCP with ipconfig /all all setting look good - then use ipconfig release - renew and everything starts working. Problem may occur again within a few minutes or longer not consistent with any machine. A machine that fails may work for days with no problem.
Lease is for 8 days.

TIA

Hi
Had something similiar with our w2k rollout whereby win9x clients had a lot trouble talking to the network. we installed a utility called DSClient which resolved this. i believe it can be downloadedfrom Microsoft..
Hope this helpd

thanks to all that responded. The fix for this was the settings in the DHCP. On the router settings we had two routers configured the NAT/DHCP server and a BDC server. removing the BDC entry cleared the problem.
