I've setup a w2K network with two subnets. The problem is that the DHCP clients on the subnets cannot receive an IP address from the DHCP server.The three scopes are active. Scope options are set to define routers, and DNS. Routing is installed on the server responsible, along with RIP2 and BOOTP. The network is dual boot. Everythig works with NT. Any ideas.

please make sure that the DHCP Server is authorized . (see the following)

How DHCP servers are authorized
The authorization process for DHCP server computers in Active Directory depends on the installed role of the server on your network. For Windows 2000 Server (as in earlier versions) there are three roles or server types for which each server computer can be installed:

Domain controller. The computer keeps and maintains a copy of the Active Directory service database and provides secure account management for domain member users and computers.
Member server. The computer is not operating as a domain controller but has joined a domain in which it has a membership account in the Active Directory service database.
