Hi,
Problem is that you are not including the IP Address of your DHCP into your scope.
Follow this...
1. Give a Static IP Address to your DHCP Server (192.168.15.1 with subnet mask as 255.255.255.0). to the other Servers (Database, Web, JetAdmin, SQL, etc.) give IP as 192.168.15.2, 192.168.15.3 & so on.
2. Now login as Adminto your DHCP Server & create a scope range from 192.168.15.1 to 192.168.15.254.
3. Now create a exclusion range from 192.168.1 to 192.168.15.20 (I am assuming that you want 20 IP Addresses blocked & give them as static for your Servers & JetAdmin Printers).
4. Put DHCP expiry to 3 days.
5. Now in all users PCs use "Obtain IP Address dynamically" & check wether the DHCP Server grants IPs to clients using "winipcfg" on Win 9x systems
"Ipconfig" on Win XP/NT/2000 systems.
Thats all !!!!
6. Use JetPack.exe to defrag your DHCP Database. It can be found in NT Resource Kit.

The exclusion scope is used to define unused addresses within a larger range. For instance, if you define your internal network as 10.1.0.0 subnetted to 16 bits (255.255.0.0) you could set an exlusion range of 10.1.0.0 255.255.255.0 to prevent the DHCP server assigning the range 10.1.0.1 through 10.1.0.254 as dynamic addresses. All others in the range are fair game.
Hope that helps -

What everyone is trying to say but managing to go into more detail than needed is, Some where when you typed in the exclusion range you got a number wrong, eg
range 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.0.255
Exclusion 192.168.0.1 to 192.68.0.30
Hey it,s easy we're techies not typists
