[plug] DHCPD Ver 1 and WinNT 4

[Michael Hunt]

Garth,

Well I am running Rh 6.0 (2.2.x Kernel) and DHCPD 2 something or other
(default package). Works a treat with my Win 9x and Win NT 4.0 machines.

Note the 2.2 kernel doesn't require a 255.255.255.255 route installed (as
per the DHCPD instructions).

Also check that if you assign an address manually to the machine you have
communications. I know it may sound like stating the obvious, but your
problem could always be physical cable, network card driver, hub,
terminators etc. (Sorry Garth I know you have probably already checked
this).

Hello Pluggers

Anyone know of any problems with NT4 and DHCPD Version 1 for Linux.

After adding the host route 255.255.255.255 for eth0, I see DHCP
Discover, Offer and Acknowledge messages in the /var/log/messages file
whenever a client boots, but the client doesnt want to know about
it?????????????????

I am about to download and try DHCPD Ver 2.0 but just thought I would
check first.
