Turn Off or On of DHCP server when resetting the IP address of host stations?
I have a DHCP and DNS server(OS: Windows Server 2003 ST).
When I reset IP address of the host stations, I have to turn off the server's forewall, which I believe is not safe at all.
Is there any way to reset IP address of the host stations (with a remote connection from each host) wtih the firewall on?
Thanks a lot!

what r u mean by reseting the ip address?
ASKER
Thank you for your kind, prompt response.
From a host station, I went to run >cmd > ipconfig /release and then ipconfig /renew.
Beofre doing these, I had to turn off the firewall of the server. Otherwise, I could not release or renew the IP of the host station.
Thanks!

Thanks again for your kind response.
I know how to use the firewall's exception.
I would like to know specifically which port(s) I need to give an exception when resetting IP address from the host station.
