I've got an NT Workstation client that has problems moving between subnet 1 and subnet 2. (Same NT domain)

For example, he normally resides in subnet 1, but on occasion travels to subnet 2.

When he arrives at subnet 2's location, he is not able to get an IP address from the DHCP server which is located in subnet 3. Router in subnet 2 servers as DHCP relay agent. The only way to get him to obtain IP address from subnet 2 is to do a manual IP release and renew.

Any idea why the client PC is not releasing the IP address when he shuts down in subnet 1?

Thanks.

Ensure his WINS is properly set to your network (some people sometimes forget to input the WINS #'s)

Ensure you have your 2k dns server as his primary dns... Should work just fine.
