two servers: dhcp priority

[Uwe Geercken]

I thought this was the case. the problem is, that I am not allowed to  
mess around with the windows stuff and the network. so I disconnect  
the windows server from the switch and hook up the edubuntu server.  
that works.

and maybe it is ok this way, so nobody can say "the network does not  
work its the fault of linux", as people tend to do sometimes.

tks.
