I have a Pix 501 setup as DHCP server to the LAN. &nbsp;I have a bunch of HP computers with XP SP3 that cannot get an IP address from the Pix. &nbsp;These computers try, but then just go to limited or no connectivity. &nbsp;If I put a static IP on these computers, they work fine. &nbsp;If I plug my vista laptop directly into the Pix, it gets a DHCP address. &nbsp;If I plug my vista laptop into one of the cables that goes to one of the HP computers, my laptop gets a DHCP address. &nbsp;The Pix does a site to site VPN to another network that has a DHCP server as well, but that shouldn't matter as each side of the VPN is on a different subnet. &nbsp;Any ideas?

Cisco PIX is a dedicated hardware firewall appliance; the Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) is a firewall and anti-malware security appliance that provides unified threat management and protection the PIX does not. Other Cisco devices and systems include routers, switches, storage networking, wireless and the software and hardware for PIX Firewall Manager (PFM), PIX Device Manager (PDM) and Adaptive Security Device Manager (ASDM).

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).
