DHCP fine for home computer, but not work
 
Okay, here is the situation:

All my home computers running fine on the network. They are all on my home "fake" domain.

Just brought home my work laptop which is on a NT domain for work. I cannot get assigned an IP:

c:\>ipconfig /renew
An error occurred while renewing interface Local Area Connection : unable to contact your DHCP server. Request has timed out.


Tried adding a new zone to my /etc/dhcpd.conf of my work domain (mywork.com) and added a new zone file in /var/named/ of mywork.com.zone

At a stand still. What do I need to do to allow my work computer to get an IP from this server without changing it's domain?

Found the problem...

My windows machine was retaining its previous network settings and domain and would not aquire a new one.

Just needed to release first:

ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
