I have been following the NAP_DHCP_StepByStep.doc guide on the microsoft website and the only difference I have in my environment is that NAP and DHCP are both installed on the Windows 2008 DC as opposed to a separate server. The problem I have is that the instant that I enable NAP (DHCP scope properties | Network Access Protection Tab | NAP Settings enable for this scope) DHCP no longer services requests. Does anyone have an idea where I'm going wrong here? It works fine when this option isn't selected and the client itself shouldn't even be affected at this point as it isn't in the test machine group.<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />

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).

Network design and methodology, also known as network architecture, is the design of a communication network. It is a framework for the specification of a network's physical components and their functional organization and configuration, its operational principles and procedures, as well as data formats used in its operation. In telecommunication, the specification of a network architecture may also include a detailed description of products and services delivered via a communications network, as well as detailed rate and billing structures under which services are compensated.
