I'm not sure I completely understand your situation but...... just a few
basic questions:
- where is DHCP being served from? A server? A router?
- can the hosts that aren't getting DHCP ping the device that is giving out
DHCP addresses?
- have you checked to make sure Windows Firewall isn't on? Probably
isn't... since it worked before... but just checking.
- when you moved to the new location, did the subnet stay the same?
