A buggy network card forgot it's mac address, so the XP client asked for a dchp lease with mac address ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff The dhcpd did not notice that the mac address is the broadcat address, and assigned an IP. Luckily the network did not went down. Here are some lines from the log: Jul 9 15:30:26 s-homoktovis dhcpd: DHCPDISCOVER from ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff (ht003) via eth0 Jul 9 15:30:26 s-homoktovis dhcpd: DHCPOFFER on 10.8.48.196 to ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff (ht003) via eth0 Jul 9 15:30:26 s-homoktovis dhcpd: DHCPREQUEST for 10.8.48.196 (10.8.48.254) from ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff (ht003) via eth0 Jul 9 15:30:26 s-homoktovis dhcpd: DHCPACK on 10.8.48.196 to ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff (ht003) via eth0 Powering off the client PC solved the problem :) -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-6-amd64 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages dhcp3-server depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.11etch1 Debian configuration management sy ii debianutils 2.17 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii dhcp3-common 3.0.4-13 Common files used by all the dhcp3 ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-13etch5 GNU C Library: Shared libraries dhcp3-server recommends no packages. -- debconf information excluded -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
