| DHCP windows 2000 Pro | Configuration: |
Hello,
I'm having fits with Internet Connection Sharing in Windows 2000 Pro.
I have an SMC 2662W USB wireless card talking to a Dell laptop with an Asante Wireless card with Windows XP. Initially, I had ICS working just fine, both computer could ping one antoher share files and my desktop would serve up an ip addy just fine. Now, it's just not working. My microsoft network works fine, and I can access shared folders, and also repair the connnection from the Laptop, but it refuses to resolve any host names. It will just sit in netscape and eventually time out. I have not enabled a firewall or IP security.. I'm thinking it's not a hardware problem becuase this setup works fine in Linux using dhcpd etc.
I've tried repairing the connection several times, re-registering the dns names from the laptop etc (ipconfig /registerdns) It's really anoying.. ICS has never been 100% reliable, but now it just does'nt work period.
Are the're any third party DHCP servers I can get for windows 2000 pro?
Any suggestions on how to fix this? Is my connection sharing perhaps ascociated with the wrong network, like an old (Local Area Connection #Blah) or something?

Go into the Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services
Now search for the DHCP server and make sure it is running and set to Automatic (double-click to see the Property sheet).

I don't believe Windows 200 PRO has that service. Only windows 2000 server includes a formal DHCP server.
However, both the DCHP client and ICS services are started and set to automatic.
Internet Connection Sharing includes a minimal DHCP server from what I understand.
I certianly could be wrong though but I did'nt see it in the Services list.

You're right about 2k Pro's DHCP server capabilities.
Suspect you may have been getting overcomplicated (ipconfig /registerdns - why on earth wiould you need that). When I had ICS working on our network, it just worked (no messing with DNS or anything else - just set the connection to shared and set all client machines to pick up IP address (and DNS) automatically). It was 100% reliable (for over 3 years with both a dial-up and broadband connection).
You've not said what sort of connection you're sharing - but presume if you did have it working, you do know what needs sharing. You could always invest in a router of course - very reasonably priced nowadays (even wireless ones). Or you could try a free proxy server (like the one at www.analogx.com - which is very good, but I abandoned it for ICS as ICS is better).
My advice would be to remove & reinstall all the networking protocols, and keep it simple as I suggested.

In activating ICS that PC becomes a DHCP server, and consequently expects its IP to be 192.168.0.1. Running IPCONFIG shows that indeed DHCP client services are disabled but that IP Routing is. As a DHCP server it then allocates and manages the IP addresses of other PCs on that network (all of which should then be DHCP enabled. |

Suddenly, my laptop is asking for user logon and password. It's never asked before and after days of trying, I cannot log into my computer. Is there back door to getting the machine to boot up? |
