    DHCP Assinging
    Hi... I want to assing address range to a specific network that is sharing a switch with another network under a different set of address range, under different administration, problem is my network clients cannot listen to my dhcp server, they come up with a range on this other network... like I'll be on 192.168.0.10 - 50 & my clints will be addressed with 10.0.0.10 or something like that.
    Can I configure strictly that my clients listen to the local dhcp, instead..

    Thanks !

    Generally no. DHCP requests are broadcast and the first reply is used. More info about your networking setup would be needed to offer reasonable workarounds. For example, it would be possible to configure both servers to assign addresses as desired but that requires administrative control of both servers. Inserting a router would also prevent the broadcasts from your machines from reaching the undesired server.

    For understanding of the protocol process see Wikipedia: DHCP.

    Use VLANS to separate the broadcast domains from one another. That will keep the other DHCP from responding since it will be in a different broadcast domain.
