Hi John

I'm very grateful. I'll pass it on to my colleague in charge of the project at once ...

Hi Gustav,
Nate offered up a couple of things to check right away.

1. If running 10.5, update to the newest version (10.5.3) which just came
out yesterday. It fixes a few DHCP problems people might have. It is
definitely a must if the server is only on 10.5.0.
2. Make sure there are no typos in the address files on the server or in the
router IP area or DNS area.
3. Make sure the range of IP addresses is large enough or is set properly.
4. Increase the log level to see if the server is denying the requests for
IP addresses or if there are any other problems.

Overall, he said if the information is entered correctly, it should just
work. Otherwise, they should have Applecare (if it is new) and they should
call Apple to see if there are other things underlying that are causing it.

Hope this helps.
