Wrong. If it tries to connect and cannot, it will instead assign itself an APIPA. When it finally is able to get an ACK from DHCP, it may be leased the same addy or another, depending on your network. If it is important that this box not change it's address, then you should assign it a static IP. -- JaR MCNGP 10110 Remove hat to reply The gene pool could use a little chlorine.

    - Re: Leasing Time Issue Ok, gotcha, but what if I tell you that I stopped the DHCP service and rebooted 5 machines, 2 2k and 3 XP and only one XP got itself an APIPA address, all the other kept their addresses as per the leasing period. How do you explain all being rebooted and just one doing what you said it's supposed to do? I'm NOT saying you are mistaken, I'm just asking you a question. Besides, I've not found a clue in the MS documentation regarding your point, stating the client would release the IP if it can not contact the DHCP server, could you provide it?

    - Re: Leasing Time Issue Ok, you have a remote pc receiving dhcp addresses from a dhcp server. The link goes down. While the link is down a pc has been rebooted. Well, it will not keep it's dhcp address because it will not have a DHCP server to tell it that the address is still leased to it. So it will try to ask for one and will not receive one and will give itself the APIPA address. The lease is only important if the machine isn't rebooted. So, earlier, when the other posters kept saying it couldn't see the dhcp server and that was the point. The other pc's kept their addresses because they hadn't rebooted. Run ipconfig /renew on the pc and all should be well as long as you don't have any issues with the card or other network devices between the pc and the dhcp server. -- LRM "fmsmcse" <fmsmcse@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:1171F898-B417-4E18-BAEA-68965F97ED81@microsoft.com... > That's exactly the issue, the client is in a remote site and the lease has > not expired. > For sure if the link is down, it should keep it's address until it > expires, > one MUST consider the leasing time. > > "JaR" wrote: > >> In microsoft.public.cert.exam.mcse, =?Utf-8?B?Zm1zbWNzZQ==?= spewed >> across the ether: >> >> >> > Yes, it can't find the net, but it should keep the IP until the lease >> > expires if it couldn't contact the DHCP at 50% and 87,5% of the total >> > time for the end of the lease. >> >> Forget about the lease.

There is no simpler way to say it: This is cheating. Many thanks for the lucid intelligent reply. I am not trying to cheat and have no need to. When I attained a BSc from London University years ago that "revered institution" sold their own exam papers from previous years and probably still does. Does this not happen Stateside? That is all I am asking for - how can reading past papers be cheating? I have it on good advice that half the struggle with MS exams is grappling with the devious way in which the questions are composed, not the material itself. And yes I have read study guides, user manuals and gained years of experience in IT. This is not the first time I have come across posters who make rash and rapid assumptions about people - did I say Testking were any good? That's three questions in this post BTW but I don't think its me that's wasting space here OK fourth one - if these cowboys are selling answers written down by paid "sitters" is that why so many of the answers in their prodcuts are crap or at best highly debatable?!

Not true, the questions as far as I have experienced aren't really devious at all. Sometimes they are very complex and you have to know the subject extremely well to answer them appropriately. That would be the point of the test, to measure knowledge of the product. > And yes I have read study guides, user manuals and gained years of > experience in IT. This is not the first time I have come across > posters who make rash and rapid assumptions about people - did I say > Testking were any good? No, you didn't. But, A$$FUSKRS don't usually make a point about which is good and which is bad. They are just interested in passing the tests in the easiest way possible. You do not seem to be one of them. I am sorry I didn't notice that first. I'm kinda knew here. > That's three questions in this post BTW but I don't think its me > that's wasting space here Now what does that mean exactly? > OK fourth one - if these cowboys are selling answers written down by > paid "sitters" is that why so many of the answers in their prodcuts > are crap or at best highly debatable?! Yes, that's why, and I have forgotten, did someone earlier say that or is this something you have noticed by acquiring these products? Oh, the most cost effective way to prepare yourself is really to build a network as cheaply as possible and use material from your local library and the mountain of documentation that comes with the the product in the help and support center. Classes are good if you don't know a certain aspect of the product. My downfall is still RRAS. I purchased a fifty dollar book that I could use at work and to help study and build the test environment as though I didn't have anything but windows machines and layer 2 switches.

    - Re: Leasing Time Issue Again these five clients aren't releasing the ip, they are unable to renew it or receive acknowledgement of a leased ip. Something else on your network could be providing dhcp. A router that is dhcp enabled or a rogue dhcp server could be doing it. So, between yesterday and today you have had your dhcp server service stopped and you have rebooted 100 clients to test this theory?--And you have checked all 100 machines for alternate configurations?

    - DHCP Leasing Client01 one leases an IP and so does Client02. One hour after their leasing, the DHCP server goes down. Client01 and Client02 have to reboot for any reason. After rebooting, Client01 maintains its IP address, as per the leasing expiration. Client02 releases the IP (remember they both have the same leasing period) for some reason. Both clients are Windows XP, and their behavior is expected to be the same, since they have the same TCP/IP configuration. They are in the same subnet and both can find the default gateway. No alternate IP is assigned. Any clue about why Client02 would release its IP before the leasing time expires? Remember Client01 has the same config and does not release the IP.

This is not quite how DHCP leases work. DHCP leases are controlled by the DHCP server, not the client. When a DHCP client reboots, after the IP stack is started, it issues a DCHP Discovery packet, if the DHCP servers that receive the broadcast respond with a Acknowledge packet. If the DHCP server that acknowledges the client was the one that issued the address the client has cached, the client will request it in the Request packet, if the lease is still active, the DHCP server will respond with a Offer package for the address and the lease time is reset. If the DHCP server is not online when the client reboots, the client will use an APIPA address and continue to rebroadcast a Discovery packet every 5 minutes (2000 and later). As for why the two XP clients are behaving differntly, my guess is that the network IP properties on each client are configured differently. Most likely, APIPA is turned off on Client01. Client02 is working as expected. If you would like to learn more about this I suggest reading the RFC on DHCP (while boring as heck, if there is no better source for learning DHCP, which is a pretty simple protocol) and/or installing a network monitor and watching DHCP traffic.

I also don't recommend you go near either until you have a good grasp of IP addressing and basic IP configuration/routing on a LAN. You'll get low-level questions in this area on both tests. The problem with the MCSE track is neither are really taught until the Implementing a Network exam. I recommend taking the rest in order, 70-291, 70-294, 70-294. I also recommend that you take whichever Design exam you are planning on taking LAST! The Design exams are the hardest, and they also tend to build on mos tof the knowledge you've hopefully gained in the first 6 exams. Goo Luck!
