Wierd DHCP problem 2000 server 2003 clients

[Davenow]

OK so our DHCP server is on a 2000 server machine.
A couple people in our one dept are running 2003 server.
When we enable DHCP on our 2000 server, one of the 2003 machines starts sucking up IP addys till they are all gone. Also, if you look at the DHCP control panel, under the list of clients, the icon next to the offending machine is different. It has a picture of a computer, with a small yellow telephone next to it.
The offending machine has only 1 nic, so why is it eating up IP addys??
Anyone???

Does the Win 2003 server have RRAS installed installed and running, if so IIRC it will request and reserve a large number of IP addresses for use by VPN or direct dial connections to it.

As a workaround you can create a DNS reservation for the MAC addy of the offending computer so that it will only be able to get one IP.

I believe RRAS is the culprit though.
