Jun 3, 2016 10:16 PM in response to jamesalinby TeenTitan,From a switch that has the issue, Can you ping the server from the client?
Like cdhw said you probable need to configure an IP Helper to forward DHCP requests to the IP address of your server.
As an example, on a cisco switch it would look some thing like this in the switch configuration.
enable
configer terminal
ip helper-address 172.16.1.2
exit
exit
write
replace 172.16.1.2 with the IP address of the mac mini server.
The network admin is probale already using an ip helper-address for the network DHCP server. He may be concerned that doing this could cause problem for the network. Just stress you can have multiple IP helpers it won't cause an issue long as you haven't enabled DHCP as OS X Server Service it shouldn't cause any issues. So promise him you won't.
