Re: DHCPD events - Linux or Win Problem ??

Michael
What you can do is release the DHCP lease on the win2k machine. 
Call up network properties (click somewhere off start, and there should be
a renew all)
Or I think there is a renew ALL option from the command prompt in win2k,
this should free up the ip linked to you nic and get a new one from you
dhcp server. (I HOPE)
