Installation issues / DHCP server not issuing an IP Address !!!
« on: November 14, 2007, 12:36:22 pm »
Hi,
I have installed from DVD onto a PC has one NIC. I have the PC connected to a switch and a laptop also connected to the switch no ADSL router in sight
The core allocates an IP address internal 192.168.80.1 with external 192.168.80.254.
I have my laptop, running windows XP to obtain a DHCP address supposedly from the core but it does not. If I manually allocate 192.168.80.5 to my laptop it allows me to connect to the Admin webpage.
I want to PXE boot my laptop but if DHCP is not working on the core what chance have I got?
I have installed and reinstalled about 4 times now.
HELP !!!!!
Incidentally is there any way from the DVD install to only install Core not Media Director also?
Thanks
