From: happyhacker on 10 Aug 2010 06:14 I have disabled the router DHCP. If I do ipconfig /all (after restarting it) on the server amongst the stuff is: DHCP Enabled = no. I have restarted a PC on the network (server has no PCs connected yet) and it seems to have a correct address 192.168 3 x. Is the DHCP server really off and is so how do I start it? Note I have only just loaded SBS2008 on the server so little config has been done. Slowly does it! -- happyhacker ------------------------------------------------------------------------ happyhacker's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/188993.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/small-business-server/1357052.htm http://forums.techarena.in
From: james_911 on 10 Aug 2010 07:33 The ICS service needs to be stopped and disabled on the Windows-based computer providing the leases; doing this disables the DHCP allocator for ICS. TO DISABLE THE ICS SERVICE, FOLLOW THESE STEPS: - Click Start, point to Programs, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Services. - Right-click Internet Connection Sharing, and then click Properties. - Under Startup Type, click Disabled. - Under Service Status, click Stop. - Click OK and close the Services Microsoft Management Console (MMC).

From: happyhacker on 10 Aug 2010 10:27 Well, I went into the server management and that way discovered DHCP server was ON. I have no PCs connected yet (or users) but the PCs are receiving an IP address on startup. I think it was my error doing "ipconfig /all" on the server where the "DHCP" was shown to be off on the internal and tunnel adaptors. Not sure of the relevance of these. Am I right here or something else to configure? -- happyhacker ------------------------------------------------------------------------ happyhacker's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/188993.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/small-business-server/1357052.htm http://forums.techarena.in

While you disable your DHCP server, your clients are unlikely to loose their IP information. Leases are usually configured to be eight days. You could force all your clients to renew them before your start off with the SBS installation. I am not positive, but I believe that SBS2008 can automatically turn off the DHCP server on certain routers. But certainly if it can�t turn off the DHCP server for you, it will remind you to do it yourself. -- super soaker ------------------------------------------------------------------------ super soaker's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/16788.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/small-business-server/1357052.htm http://forums.techarena.in |
