AH! Well what I did seems to have helped or fixed it for some! What I did, was turn OFF the Windows 2000 DHCP software, and turn on the router hardware DHCP. I Did look in the error log, and see 98% less timeout errors BTW! Before we had 20 a day, and now, I Saw just 2 for a 24 hr period! Hmmm.. I'll note this in my logs for future reference! Keep me updated--BTW, sometimes a very high-peak times you may get slow or a timeout, but that is a bandwidth issue I'm sure, and those don't last long. DHCP issues 'packets' to each IP that is incoming, and the 'lease' runs out after so many hours/days, so it's Off, meaning there is no longer ANY controling of IP nodes incoming.
Did ya get that?

wee!
Actually, I just kicked the server until I didn't see errors!

(heh...)
