After having to sort out the ealier problems with DHCp, its now working, except for the allocation of the default gateway.
There is no global scope, just the local one.
I removed DHCP, bounced, re-installed DHCP, re service pack6a.
gave it ascope from 01 to 254 (class c)
router = IP of main router
domain = domain name
wins = wins server IP (same as dhcp)
node type 0x8
DHCP has the 003 router entry and it does contain the correct IP for the gateway, but all clients get their own DHCP IP address as the default gateway, the same as how it works in RAS clients.
I have made a script to correct this at loging time but why do they not get the correct gateway ?
