Same subnet...  In fact, the only thing I changed on the router was disabling DHCP.

If everything is on the same subnet, just turn on the DHCP on the server like you already did and any client in the same subnet will broadcast and the DHCP server should respond and hand out an address.<br />
<br />
Have you configured the scope on the server.

Scope is configured... doesn't work.

Is the server in a domain or a workgroup? &nbsp;Either way, right click the server name in the DHCP MMC and select Authorize.<br />
Also ensure the scope is activated (right click the scope).

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.
