Using a DHCP server I have recently experienced problems with "staying connected". I will get a DHCP address along with the Gateway, WINS, DNS. A few minutes later the pc can no longer ping or connect to specific pieces of equipment. Switching to static using the same address I am fine. I have attempted to add a default gateway manually because the problem seem to be with routing. This did not correct the problem. Not all computers on the DHCP are having this problem. I am running one DHCP server. My question is anyone have a suggestion and is there a command to run to scan for available DHCP servers so I can be sure there is only one at this point.

Probably configured incorrectly.
After installing the DHCP, you have to authorize the DHCP server and create a scope of valid addresses to lease to DHCP clients. On routed network, you also need to add a DHCP relay agent.

We have found the problem. The problem was a new router was introduced to the network to another frame connection. The router was running eirgp which was broadcasting garbage to anything that was not on the main subnet. Removal of eirgp corrected the problem.
