[lug] DHCP Question

[Dan Ferris]

Here is some interesting Questions.

Last night, I changed out our Microsoft Windows NT DHCP server for a 
Linux DHCP server running ISC DHCPD.  This morning when I came in, about 
a third of the company couldn't talk to the network because their DHCP 
hadn't renewed with the new server.  They are all running some version 
or another of Microsoft Winblows.

I always thought that it didn't matter what computer was a DHCP server 
so long as you only had 1 per subnet.  Is this true?  The old server is 
completely turned off and the service is set to manual.

Is Windows always stupid about DHCP, or is it just me?
