Ok, have you tried to give them a manual address, and then flicking them back over to the DHCP address? Also, amke sure that the 2k server does not have any DHCP services active (athough it shouldnt, because it should have a static address)

Anyway, if you need some more help, drop me an email - robert@keato.zzn.com

Is this an home or business setup? What is the 2000 Servers purpose in you network? What make of Cable Router?

I would do a IP release and renew. Run => CMD

ipconfig /release

ipconfig /renew

Also check in the setup of the Router that the maximum # of DHCP users isn't set too low, the starting IP address is ok, and that DHCP is still enabled.
