    Can't find a NG dedicated to searching... I'm playing with Search Serverer Express and am planning a deployment, but am unsure the hardware. I'm planning to use desktop grade gear - a search server is not mission critical and does not need redundancy, ECC, RAID, etc. My test setup is on an older Core 2 Duo and I notice that I'm _mostly_ CPU bound with little disc / network (single SATA, 1Gbps) activity. The documentation says that the SQL server express component can only use one CPU, but obviously the other components take some as well. What do you think between powerful and cachey Dual core versus a similarly priced (but slightly lower clock rate) Quad? I'd hate to have half a quad sitting unused, but if utilised properly it may really help over a dual core. -- Dave Harry

Can not locate DHCP server

Postby SmVmZnJ1bQ » Wed, 19 Oct 2005 23:45:09 GMT 

I have a location using a pix 501 router and vpn setup with dhcp relay. All 
but one of the XP SP2 workstations can get an ip number. This workstation at 
one time could get to the dhcp server but it now fails. I have added a static 
IP number and it can ping the dhcp server and the workstation is in DNS. 
There are no errors in the dhcp log file for this workstation, and I check in 
the userenv.log and found nothing. 

I was wondering how I can get more debugging info on the dhcp server or 
workstation, or maybe someone might have another suggestion.

Hi,

My guess is that it would be best to simply sniff the network with tools 
such as Network Monitor from Microsoft or Ethereal. This way you will be 
able to see if client is actually trying to find DHCP server and if DHCP 
server is actually getting these requests from the client or DHCP relay 
agent...

You can get Ethereal for free here:  http://www.**--****.com/

4.Cannot locate Rogue DHCP Server 

Hi, Im hoping someone out there can shed some light on this, as its
driving me to drink!

I have an old NT 4.0 domain that hasnt been fully upgraded to AD yet,
its comprised of 2 subnets connected by a router.

subnet 1
192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0
subnet 2
192.168.2.0 255.255.255.0

There is an 'authorised' DHCP server on each subnet

DHCP server subnet 1 192.168.1.8
DHCP server subnet 2 192.168.2.25

However over the last few weeks some users have been complaining that
they lose conenctivity to the internet and other resources. After
investigation this proves to be due to a rogue DHCP server repiortedly
from 192.168.1.254 handing out invalid routes / DNS settings etc.

I ran the DHCPLOC.exe util from the support tools and indeed on the .1
subnet there is a DHCP server at 1.8 and 1.254.

HOWEVER, I cannot ping/scan .254. Checking the DHCP leases ont he
network show nothing for the address.. short of checking every machine
on the network im really not sure how to track this down?

Can anyone please help?

5.can't locate DHCP server 

I have just been set up with new internet service (cable 
modem).  I keep getting the error in the subject line.  I 
have hooked up another computer to the same port and have 
no problems.  The OS on the system that won't connect is 
XP Pro and XP Home on the one that does connect.  I have 
tried a different NIC and get the same results.  Any 
suggestions?

Thanks
