How do I restore the default scopes for DHCP?
After a power outage, my SBS DHCP stopped working. I could make the clients connect by giving them manual IPs. I deleted the scopes in my DHCP which were something like 192.168.0.x and 74.x.x.x.
I redefined a new scope, and the DHCP is working for the clients, assigning addresses, etc. However, RWW stopped being able to connect to client computers. It can connect to the server just fine, but not the client computers.
My configuration
SBS 2003 with two NICs
NIC 1 is WAN, attached to Internet, and assigned 192.168.1.1
NIC 2 is LAN, attached to switch, and assigned 192.168.16.2
DHCP server is on 192.168.16.2
When I deleted the DHCP scopes, I created a new one with a range of 192.168.16.1 through .254
When RWW client computer didn't work I did the following:
1. Uninstalled and reinstalled DHCP and set up the scope as listed above
2. Ran Connect to the Internet and Email wizard
3. Ran the Remote Connection wizard.
No errors, just can't RWW in to client computers that are assigned IPs by DHCP.
I set up one machine with a static IP, and I can connect to it through RWW. I gave it 192.168.16.100
I wanted to go back to the old scopes, but I can't get them back.
Any help?

Make sure that the DHCP options that you're rolling out for clients like DNS server, Default gateway etc are configured correctly when client obtains IP from DHCP. If you can do RWW to client configured for a ststic IP, I don;t think RWW needs a relook.

The DHCP options that I selected are:
Gateway 192.168.16.2
255.255.255.0
WINS 192.168.16.2
DNS 192.168.16.2
The reason I originally deleted the scopes that were extant was that DHCP would give addresses, but I couldn't connect to the server unless I put in a static IP. After deleting the existing scopes and making the new one mentioned above, the DHCP worked for the clients, but I couldn't RWW to them except for the server.
Does RWW require a certain scope to operate?

RWW does't require any certain scope or scope option to operate. In your previous post, you seem to have created a DHCP scope range of 192.168.16.1 -x.x.16.254. Make sure that you exclude the 192.168.16.2 address for SBS server.

yes, I excluded the server address from the scope. When I look at the leases, it shows a number in the scope that have an icon suggesting that the server is using them for RWW, but the only clients that work across RWW have static IPs.
All the clients that are assigned IPs by DHCP will connect to the server and internet just fine, I just can connect to them through RWW.
Will restoring my DHCP database restore that functionality?

Thanks for the input. I have a working DHCP, giving out licenses, but it will only allow me to connect RWW to clients with static IPs still.
