hello,
just installed a win2k dc on my network. it's the only dc, though i do have one win2k file server. in any event, the computer in question has AD, DNS, and DHCP installed. it's feeding out ip addresses, but i can't figure one thing out.

why is it that in the dhcp mmc that the domain is listed with an ip address of 169.254.98.25, while if i do an ipconfig i get the 192.168.. address that i assigned it??? how do i correct this?

thanks,
k

Did you assign a static IP to your DHCP server? I am probibly off base but it is something to check no?

The 169.254.x.x is an IPIPA address, did you set an exclusion in your range for the server? Configure the server to use a static IP from you 192.168 range and see what happens.
