[K12OSN] Network specialist foes: rice bet

[Will Hatch]

I set up a very small K12 lab in the main building of our community
center (3 workstations and a server).  Soon after that, various folks
around the building were having problems with the internet.  I did not
realize that it was my server that was causing the problem; an outside
outfit came in to work on the business office server (also running
DHCP)and made the discovery.  We could not figure out how to solve this
problem, so.... who loses??? My K12 lab, thats who!  I had to migrate
back to windows.  Bahhh Humbugggg! Its nice to see that this problem
exists elsewhere.  Now, how can I solve it?
