6224 DHCP Relay and VLANs

Hi,

I'm trying to configure a PowerConnect 6224 for a new building on our site and am having some difficulty getting DHCP to work.
The aim is to connect the 6224 to our existing network, which is the 192.168.234.0/24 subnet and for clients on this switch to be on the 192.168.236.0/26 subnet. I have created VLAN 2 for 192.168.234.0/24 and VLAN 4 for 192.168.236.0/26 and assigned 192.168.234.241 and 192.168.236.1 as the interface IP addresses respectively.
I have enabled the DHCP relay and configured it to contact our main DHCP server, which the switch can ping, but when I connect a workstation to port 1 it fails to receive a DHCP address. I have configured a scope for 192.168.236.0/26 on the DHCP server (Win 2k3) and if I configure an IP address manually the workstation can ping through to the 192.168.234.0 subnet.
Any ideas on what I am doing wrong here?

Thanks,
--Richard Burns-Allan

The config I am using is as follows:

Give a look here in this thread, you will need to set your DHCP scope to look at the gateway on 192.168.236.1

The scope is set up correctly, as is routing, but the problem seems to be the DHCP requests are not getting to the server.
As a further test I'm going to set up the second 6224 which I have and then check the stats for the DHCP relay to make sure it is actually receiving the DHCP discovers. I've had a look at the other thread, but haven't come across anything there which works for me.

Thanks,

Managed to get this resolved now - not entirely sure why it started working as it didn't appear to be a change in config, just a restart.

Thanks,
