Hello
I am new to the Mac OS X server. I came from windows. I understand networking very well and I have a small problem with a Mac server. My DHCP has run out of IP addresses. Is there a way to manually remove addresses that belong to old machines no longer on the network? I originally set it up for 1 week lease time. Do I have to wait until the lease is expired? Thanks in advance for any help.

In linux, you'd be able to restart the dhcpd server to make that happen. Using Redhat it might look like:

# sudo /sbin/service dhcpd restart

or maybe:

# /etc/init.d/dhcpd restart
(this syntax may not be exactly right - I usually use the service option)

I don't know exactly how it's structured for the mac server, but maybe this will provide a starting point for digging through man pages or results of a locate search.
 
Thanks rwilkerson. I have been looking all day and have found nothing on this. I know it can be done as a whole and individually but I can’t do either. I thought when I stopped it and restarted it, it would all clear out but it did not.
