Q.
After updating my Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) Server to NetWare 5.1 Support Pack 5 (NW51SP5) or to NetWare 6 Support Pack 2 (NW6SP2), DHCP has ceased to work or has behaved extremely flaky. How can I fix this problem?

Dear Flaking: Apply the latest TCP/IP field test patch for your operating system. You "may" also need to delete the IP address records that you see in the DNS/DHCP console because, in rare cases, they may have become corrupted. Although the core issue is fixed by updating TCP/IP, the server will continue to hand out erroneous information due to the corrupted NDS records.
If this still doesn't help, you may need to down-date TCP.NLM and TCPIP.NLM to the previous version (that can be found in NW51SP4 or in NW6SP1). You should down-date the DHCPSRVR.NLM to the previous version as well.
