No there shouldn't be a router there. More information in the visio below...

If you need more information, just ask
Since the new DHCP-Server is just a replacment for the old one, can this be a problem outside virtualization?
Have you checked your switch about DHCP Snooping settings or IP/MAC based ACL's?

Does you router filter DHCP?

I don't think that, till this year, we used a physical server with dhcp and everything worked fine...
But thanks for your effort :smileygrin:
Do you use VLANs in your network? Was physical DHCP in the same VLAN as virtual?
I have virtual DHCP and everything is fine.

I don't know much about the switch, which is ued, because we don't have access to it. The new virtual server took the place of the earlier physical one, which provided the DHCP, so it is probably the same VLAN
How did you configure your server. Did you anything special about the networking? Thanks in advance
How is your network setup?
Is there a router between the ESX, the DHCP-Server and the Clients? If so, have a look at configuring "ip helper-address" which tells the router to transport DHCP requests to the DHCP-Server on a different network or vlan ...
Was the physical server in the same subnet or vlan? Did you a P2V?

No, nothing special in my networking setup.
Could you post screenshot of your ESXi network config?

Is the DHCP Server on the PDC aka DC or on the service server?
For which Subnet is the DHCP-Server issuing addresses?

It's on the PDC. I was planning to have wds in action, but without DHCP on clients (PXE-Boot) this won't work
It's 192.168.1.X network. I made a scope from 192.168.1.101 - 135.
