Yeah enabling directed-broadcast solved the problem for the Netbios forwarding but a day later when the DHCP lease time for some of the clients expired there were probs again ... No i am not running frame-relay ..   i will try to get the configs but i can assure u that there is nothing too complex in those and  on top of that i know some of the basics too :) ..  rest assured there is no config mistake.. either this is an IOS issue or something else :)   The thing is that i need to go to the client site myself to get a look at the debug traces .. till now iall i have said is after hearing it from a friend but iwill let u all know if there is some progress towards the solution.   Thanks for the input guys   Regards Atif -----Original Message----- From: Kenny Sallee <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Atif Awan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Sunday, July 09, 2000 3:55 AM Subject: Re: interesting part 2 From the first post I thought you solved it.  With enabling "directed broadcasts" depending on your addressing range will work - only cuz you are not using WINS.  If using WINS then all should have been fine -- *I think*.  The MS stuff is starting to fade away...   For the second problem - DHCP not working...I assume you are using Frame really.  1st off why in the world would you want to do DHCP across a wan?  Might as well bridge everything.  Second - are you using inverse arp or frame map statements?  If frame map statements do you have the "broadcast" keyword?    What do your helper addresses look like?  You can make helper addresses the real IP of the DHCP server ya know.  It doesn't have to be a broadcast - unless you need broadcasts for other protocols.   Sanitize your configs and send them to the list or directly to me.  It will help us all.

This time the DHCP is not working across the WAN. it used to work fine before the 2620 came in .. are there any IOS 12.1(1) bugs or something like that which will prevent it from functioning properly.   i am also looking it up on the cisco web site but if anyone knows the solution first do post it :)   Regards Atif
