Page 117: Unable To Connect To Server01
Step 1 on page 117 asks you to connect to Server01 from the second computer. You may not be able to connect to Server01 if there is not a DHCP server available on the network.

Solution:

If the second computer is running Windows 98, configure it to acquire an IP address from a DHCP server.

Note: The two computers can communicate with each other this way. This is made possible by a feature called Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) employed by Windows 98 and Windows 2000. With this feature, a Windows 98/2000 computer can assign itself an IP address in the event that a DHCP server is not available or does not exist on the network. APIPA-enabled computers can only communicate within the assigned subnet. The APIPA-assigned IP address is a class B address in the range of 169.254.x.x.

If the second computer is running an operating system other than Windows 98, please complete the following steps:


 * 1) On Server01, run &quot;ipconfig&quot; at the command prompt to determine what the APIPA-assigned IP address is for Server01.
 * 2) On the second computer, manually specify an IP address in the range of 169.254.x.x other than the one assigned to Server01. Addresses 169.254.0.0 and 169.254.255.255 are also invalid. Set the subnet mask to 255.255.0.0

Page 122: Incorrect Information About Clean Installation With SMS
The table on page 122 indicates that a clean installation of Windows 2000 can be performed by SMS. This is incorrect. SMS can be used only for installations to computers that contain a previously installed operating system and are running the SMS client agent.

Change:

&quot;Yes&quot;

To:

&quot;No&quot;

This feature is built into Windows 2000 to provide a baseline of fault tolerance for partitions containing operating system files.&quot;
