DHCP Through a 2821 router

I had a client successfully loging on to a dhcp server through a 2821 router, this was with the clients address reserved on the server.

When I attempted to reload the router having erased the startup-config the router tried to get its ip address from the dhcp server (I think)

Since this I have not been able to get the client to logonto the dhcp server through the router, it still logs on ok if the router is bypassed.

The server IP address is 183.113.195.80

The clients resrved address is:183.113.195.226

Running Config below...........

You've multiple ip-helper addresses listed under the Gi0/0 which assisted your workstattion to find the DHCP server and obtain IP address leases. Are you running DHCP on a Windows server now? You can have the client reserved ip address set up as a "reservation" in Windows DHCP scope if you want, but I am not sure what seems to be the issue that you're concerning about. Are you looking to have the client obtains ip addresses directly from the router or from another DHCP server?

Are you running DHCP on a Windows server now? YES Windows Server 2003. The clients ip address is reserved in the windows dhcp.

I do not want the router to manage dhcp but permit the initial dhcp transactions to occur through it. Thus giving the client its ip address.
