Win2k RIS install question

Hey all...
I'm trying to use a RIS server on my small network to help deploy Windows 2000. I have RIS running on our fileserver, and my main domain controller is running DHCP, DNS, WINS, etc.
When I boot from the RIS disk on one of the workstations, I can look at the DHCP monitor, and I know that the system is being assigned an IP address. The workstations all say "No reply from server" though. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. I double checked, and RIS is installed right, and it is set to receieve requests from clients.
I doubt that this has much to do with it, but I am using 3C905B NICs, and I know that those are supported by the RIS disk, so that *shouldn't* be an issue.
What in the world am I doing wrong?
Thanks a ton!

Is your File server a Domain Controller in your domain, or just a Member Server?

Make sure that your DHCP and RIS servers are both authorised in ADS otherwise nothing will happen.

I've only set it up once, and it luckily worked first time...
