Question : Issue with moving DHCP from 2000 to 2003 box with DHCPEXIM

I have moved the DHCP scopes from my 2000 box to my 2003 box with the following steps.

1.) Installed DHCP on 2003 box
2.) Ran "net stop dhcpserver" on 2000 box
3.) Ran "jetpack dhcp.mdb temp.mdb" on 2000 box
4.) Ran DHCPEXIM app and saved the scopes as text file
5.) Disabled DHCP on 2000 box
5.) Moved text file to 2003 box
6.) Ran "netsh dhcp server import c:\2000.txt all" on 2003 box
7.) Authorized DHCP server

After I authorize the DHCP server on the 2003 I am not getting any address releases from the dhcp server.  Any idea why?  thanks.

Answer : Issue with moving DHCP from 2000 to 2003 box with DHCPEXIM

Look, a DHCP server will serve by default only the computers from the same LAN segment and same IP class.
170.190.240.x it is not in the same IP class.
The computers you want to serve are in the same LAN segment?
DCHP works on broadcast. The clients can't broadcast in another LAN segment unless there is a bootp relay agent on the router to forward dchp requests to another LAN segment.
Do you understand what I'm saying?
