I am experiencing some problems with our DHCP using Win Svr 2012.<br />
We have 1 Svr and 21 workstations<br />
I cannot ping any of the workstations from the server.<br />
I can only ping the server from two of the workstations, the remaining 19 can't ping the server.<br />
There are no apparent issues with using shared folders or any other network features between the server and any of the workstations (everything we do is working fine).<br />
All of the Pc's show up with IP addresses in the DHCP (no conflicts).<br />
I did notice that the DHCP Server Name is listed as a strange IP address instead of the Server Name, even though it is bound to the servers IP.<br />
We do have a static IP address with our ISP and no it's not the same as the one shown as DHCP Server Name.<br />
<br />
The Server is also DNS and AD DS.<br />
<br />
Any help would be appreciated.<br />

DHCP problems with Win Svr 2012

Windows Server 2012 is the server version of Windows 8 and the successor to Windows Server 2008 R2. Windows Server 2012 is the first version of Windows Server to have no support for Itanium-based computers since Windows NT 4.0. Windows Server 2012, now in its second release (Windows Server 2012 Release 2) includes Foundation, Essentials, Standard and Datacenter, and does not support IA-32 or IA-64 processors.

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).

The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical, globally distributed system responsible for associating the name of a computer, service or other resource into an IP address for connecting to the Internet or a private network. Most prominently, it translates domain names to the numerical IP addresses needed for the purpose of computer services and devices worldwide.
