I have a DHCP problem and was wondering what I'm missing. When we move a computer from one office to the next the computer continues to renew the old office IP range. If branch one is 172.16.2.x and branch two is 172.16.3.x the computer in branch two continues to renew as 172.16.2.x. This is after releasing the DHCP address and also flushing the dns.
These are XP Pro computers. There is only one DHCP server and it's running on Windows 2000 SP4. We also run into this problem when we take a laptop into a different branch.
I have checked and there are plenty of available IPs for each range (most branches have a range of 50 available and only 3-4 computers).
What am I missing to get the DHCP to use the correct branch range? I'm sure it's probably something simple but it's frustrating right now.
