Can Anybody Explain This?

Could somebody please explain this?

I use DHCP on my LAN with the exception of a computer which I preferred to put static IP of the same range as the DHCP range. This is neccesary because the one with the staic is the Server while others are cclients that are needed to be pointed to the server,

However, I have observed that sometimes the server already configured with static IP lose the IP address and changes to DHCP. INfact, checking the LAN card reveals that there was no IP on the card. It has changed mysteriously to AUTO IP mode.

I find it  baffling. Can somebody  expalin this to me.PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

There are some question u need to answer. How many LAN card is on the server ? If the server is the DHCP Server then it most be a two LAN card on it else u are using a router or and acess point.
u may change that LAn card that is misbehaving.
i WILL JUST ADVICE You TO BY A ROUTER CONFIGURE UR LIFE IP THEN THE ROUTER WILL DO THE REST (DHCP) FOR You
ANS MY Q THEN I OFFER MORE HELP

Thanks for your responses.

I have a linksys router that gives out DHCP ip addresses to client. THe server I talked about is a cafe timer  server that all other clients machine connects to for timing and authorisation.

The timer server itself has just one card on it that is also connected to the same switch that other clients machine connects to.

I hope have been able to give the details you requested for.

Thanks all
