Windows 2k3 DHCP has Not Connected status

This question has been asked before but no answers have been give.
Every time I look at my DHCP MMC is says not connected. As soon as I
double-click it says running. I am not sure why it does this or if this is
normal.

Also, I think it is leading to problems with a workstation from
connecting to shared files.

Any help would be appreciated.
