Hi, I am new to packet tracer and am using it for a class, so please forgive me if this is a dumb question. I am curious as to why I am getting the message that APIPA is being used because DHCP failed. I feel like I did everything right, from the DHCP pool to the helper addresses. I am trying to set up DHCP on the server on the left named 192.168.0.254.Can somebody take a look at the file attached and tell me where I went wrong?

hello @CB3442,
There are some problems:
On Router-0, the configuration on fa 0/0 is not ok! it is the config for fa 1/0.
Configure like this:
The IP config on your DHCP server need Gateway. This Gateway is configured on Fa 0/0.1 on Router-0 (see above). Also, add gateway on DHCP server:
DHCP serveur should ping its gateway on Router-0:
After that PC should have IP address:
--- You let vlan 1 for DHCP server, and there is no configuration on Switch4. It is ok like this but you could modify the vlan ID, other than vlan 1, configure the Swich-4 and adjust the TAG vlan on Router-0 fa 0/0.

Take care, some computers are on the bad VLAN
Check the port configuration of Switches, identifes the PC and add the good vlan id [switchport access vlan XX].
Example on Switch 4, I modified vlan id on ports fa 0/2-0/3 and 0/4
Now, PC Sales, F&A and IT have got the correct IP.
N.B: add description on ports to help you to configure.
