Yes, ipconfig /all shows that the client is pulling its IP from the same server that I have updated.

I have a Windows Server 2008 machine acting as my domain DHCP server. I am attempting to change the default gateway assigned to DHCP clients. I have gone into the DHCP admin tool and changed the &quot;Router&quot; setting under Server Options, but clients are still pulling the old gateway info. I have tried several times to release/renew the IP, but it still keeps pulling the old gateway address. I have restarted the DHCP service, dleted the previous lease for the machine in question, tried a different client, and rebooted the server... The server shows the updated address in the &quot;Router&quot; option, but is still handing out the old gateway.

The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is an auto configuration protocol used on IP networks and an extension of the Bootstrap Protocol. DHCP allows for computers to be configured automatically to communicate with each other over an IP network without the need for manual setup by a network administrator. The implementation of DHCP relies on a DHCP server to hand out network configuration information to DHCP-capable clients that request an IP address (and other information required or useful in communicating with other devices on an IP network). In addition to an IP address, common configuration information served over DHCP includes a default gateway, subnet mask and DNS sever(s).
