I'm a soldier deployed to Iraq, and I am having trouble with our network. I've set everything up in a typical star cluster, 1 server, 4 router/switches, and about 20 work stations. Access to the internet is fine (obviously), but the problem that Im running into is the routers are assigning Ip's instead of the server. I've programmed each router to act as a switch, to allow the server to provide the Ip's, but for some reason they continue to assign. Another problem (could tie in with the first)is, I can't access(or see on my network) the other computers not directly attached to my switch. Its like they aren't even there. PLEASE HELP. Thanks.

Try this quick fix as you only have 20 PC, put in static IPs in all you pcs, this should include the following:
IP, Subnet, Gateway, DNS (usualy server IP) before assigning them make sure they are not already used (use ping command) also keep them all same class and ip number ie 192.168.0.34, also make sure all are the same workgroup or domain name. hope this helps

You could also try and access the routers and turn off the dhcp in the configuration.
