The DHCP server is not distributing any IP addresses despite the client able to ping the DHCP server while using static IP. The event log on the DHCP server also has an entry which says “The DHCP service is not servicing any clients because none of the active network interfaces have statically configured IP addresses, or there are no active interfaces”

This may be caused by the DHCP server not having a static IP itself. Assign a static IP to the network adapter. If this has already been done, follow the steps in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/298490

This is likely caused by corrupted spooler files. To fix it, first off your printer and then stop the print spooler service. Next, fire up Windows Explorer and navigate to C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\PRINTERS. Delete the files ending with *.SHD and *.SPL. Finally on you printer then start the print spooler service again.

To stop or start the Printer Spooler Service

1. Go to Start then Run.
2. Type in services.msc.
3. Search for Print Spooler, Right Click on it and select Stop/Start
