Hi Jeff<br />
<br />
&nbsp; I deactivate the DHCP and remove the network card from My peripheral in safe mode so that when i boot in normal mode, it would reinstall the network card with default setting. After that, i was able to log on the router and activate windows. Your answers really help me.<br />
<br />
Thanks a lot<br />

Hello,<br />
<br />
&nbsp; I forgot to activate my version of windows server 2003 and now, the 30 day has pass and im lock-out of it. I want to activate it but when i try to connect to the internet (i got a router), i dont seem to connect to the internet. Now i think that my problem is that the router want to give my server a IP address but since my server got a DHCP installed, the network card get the IP address from the server. <br />
<br />
&nbsp; Is there a way to deactivate the DHCP from the server of another way to get around it or do i have to reinstall windows <br />
<br />
thanks

Deactivate DHCP Windows 2003 after the activation time has expired

The Windows operating systems have distinct methodologies for designing and implementing networks, and have specific systems to accomplish various networking processes, such as Exchange for email, Sharepoint for shared files and programs, and IIS for delivery of web pages. Microsoft also produces server technologies for networked database use, security and virtualization.
