DHCP will not work from servers, why?

[duhmez 0]

Scouring the net for answers, of any I have not found.

 

I have a mixed mode domain, 2 NT 4 bdc's, 1 win2k domain controller running in pdc emulation mode< and a wink standalone.

 

I have tried running the dhcp server on all of these servers at any given time, and also 2 at a time in other tests. I authorize the dhcp servr (PDC local machine) and no addresses will be handed out. For a test I installed ICS on a win98 workstation in the domain, and it succssfully hands out addresses to clients without a hitch. My switches are all working normally. Is there something I am missing, or a problem I do not know about yet? Currently I am usin autoassigned 169.x addresses to workaround.
