The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

DHCP and Wireless connections

Asked by brynstar in Wireless Local Area Network, SBS Small Business Server, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)

Hello All

Heres something that is taxing my brain. I have setup SBS2003, there are two NIC cards and the DHCP is enabled on the server and disabled on my Netgear Router. Ethernet connections to the network are working fine, they are all XP sp2.

Until last night, a few laptops were connecting via wireless to the 2Wire BT router which was acting as the DHCP server. I dropped the router in favour of the Netgear one and now the SBS runs the DHCP. The Vista laptops are now unable to connect to the Router, running ipconfig/release and then renew results in DOS replying the DHCP server cannot be located, obviously as it's looking for the router to assign an IP address.

Does anyone know how to setup vista's wireless connection so that it looks for the server to get it's IP address assigned? My boss is back on monday and he also has Vista on Wireless so I need to get this working! Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated

Best Regards
Bryn
