Question

Answer 1

Boss dhcp relay agent comes in picture when the pc is not in the same network segment means if your dhcp client request brodcast is not reaching to your sever then this dhcp relay agent comes.so forget dhcp relay agent as long as your client dhcp request can get to your sever.client send request using 0.0.0.0 .



make a new scope with your desired ip address range and then manually resrve ip for the client which has to get that particular ip address afainst client mac address .

if u dont understand this thing send a mail to [e-mail] i will assist you further.

best luck

To configure a DHCP server, start the Configure Your Server Wizard by doing either of the following:



* From Manage Your Server, click Add or remove a role. By default, Manage Your Server starts automatically when you log on. To open Manage Your Server, click Start, click Control Panel, double-click Administrative Tools, and then double-click Manage Your Server.

* To open the Configure Your Server Wizard, click Start, click Control Panel, double-click Administrative Tools, and then double-click Configure Your Server Wizard.



On the Server Role page, click DHCP server, and then click Next.

Answer 3

What you want is a dhcp relay or dhcp helper.



What type of gateway or router do you have? If it is a cisco srouter then look at the dhcp helper commands.



If you have a linux box, look at dhcrelay.
