You have configured your servers IP address as static (192.168.200.10) and installed the DHCP Server role on your server. You now want to verify it is working. You configure your client to Obtain IP address Automatically and then you reboot the client, log in, and run ipconfig at the command prompt. However, the IP address of your client is 169.254.116.23!
