Getting test server on network
Ok this is kinda ghetto but...
i have server 2008 trial version installed on a dell workstation. it installed fine. i have 768 ram in the machine. it picked up the network card fine too integrated intel 1000
It will not pick up an address from dhcp. not only that. when i try to give it a static ip address it then gets two ip addresses. the first one listed as 169.xxx.xxx.xxx and then the second one listed as what i gave it. it will not ping anything nor is it pingable. firewall disabled. i put a registry entry in there to supposedly let it use my dhcp server. it was taking every available address in the scope until i put that entry in there.
anyway. i cant get the thing on the network. and im trying to test remote apps function from terminal server. thanks for any guidance!

Here are my new symptons.
When i hook the server directly to a switch so it can have a connected lan it will take a 192.168.1 address.
when it is on our network it will not.
it will also not take an address when the dhcp is taken out of the network. so it doesn't have anything to do with the dhcp server.
if its on the network it will say a conflict with another ip address and assign itself a 169 address even if i put a static in. its like there is something on the network that is really screwing it up.
i dont have a network sniffer. i have a new router but it isnt doing any dhcp.

One more thing. no vista machine has ever been able to receive a dhcp address on our network. Vista and 2008 will register the whole scope of the dhcp server with bad addresses.
but like i said. this 2008 server will not take a static address even if the dhcp server is offline.

it will just not take an address that is on our local network.
it keeps on giving me an autoconfiguration ipv4 address as 169.254.228.142 <preferred>
then it will give me a ipv4 address 192.168.1.x (duplicate) <this is the one i punch in as a static ip.
I know its not being used on the network. i have tried ten different free addresses and i always get an address conflict from this machine.
any ideas?
