Until yesterday, we had no server at our network, so we used our router, D-Link DFL 200 as DHCP server. The router has IP: 192.168.1.1 and all clients has IP in the range: 192.168.1.10 - 192.168.1.20.

Yesterday I installed a Windows SBS 2008, and I was recommended to use that one as DHCP-server instead and heard that it was pre-configured as DHCP-server. This server has IP: 192.168.1.2.

Now I would like to turn off the DHCP-server in the router and use the SBS 2008 as DHCP-server. In the router I has changed from Use built-in DHCP Server to Relay DHCP request to other DHCP server: 192.168.1.2.

Then I tried from a Windows XP client to renew the IP-address but that failed. The DHCP service on SBS 2008 was stopped, but I started it again, and now is it "Started", but I can still not renew the IP-address from the Windows XP client.

How do I set the Windows SBS 2008 as DHCP-server?

First, disable DHCP Server on D-Link. You do not need the DHCP relay.

Manual how run DHCP on SBS 2008.

For debug problem, install Wireshark to Windows XP.

You don't want to relay DHCP. You want to completely disable DHCP on the router. Once that's done, see if it works. If it doesn't, re-run the "connect to the internet" wizard is SBS.
