I have a Windows 2003 Server acting as a DHCP server.
I've defined the address pool as 10.10.1.1 to 10.10.254.254. I've excluded 10.10.1.1 to 10.10.1.254 as I use this subnet for static IPs. Subnet mask is 255.255.0.0.
Clearly I've done something wrong, as a client has been leased the address of 10.10.1.255. I thought this was a broadcast address?
How do I get the result I want i.e. 10.10.1.0 subnet excluded for static assignment and 10.10.2.0 to 10.10.254.0 subnets for dynamic?
Cheers
Phil

Only if you have the main subnet set to 255.255.255.0If you've got it set to 255.0.0.0 as is correct for a 10. network then your broadcast address will be 10.255.255.255
