My setup is as follows:<br />
Windows Server 2008 is my DHCP Server on a multi-homed network, one network is for my lab projects and its ip is 10.0.0.1/8, the other network is my home network of 192.168.1.1/24. I had this working 6 months again until I brought it down for other reasions which I will not go into. Now I need to have that network back, so I recreated the network pool as follows:<br />
IP Range: 10.0.0.1/8<br />
Exclusions: 10.0.0.1 - 10.0.0.99 and 10.0.0.199 - 10.254.254.254<br />
<br />
I think Ive done everything except rebooting (since this is my DC) and even that is a last resort.<br />
<br />
Any assistance you can give will be most appreciated.<br />

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.

Networking

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).
