Hi again, So I've had a bit of a read up on the "dhcp-client-identifier" attribute, and it appears that you can use this as an alternative to client MAC address to identify clients. It sounds to me like this is how your DHCP server is configured - it's not actually interested in the MAC address. If you could mail me a dhclient.conf from a SuSE or RedHat box that works, I'd be interested to see how you have these configured. I can't imagine that either distribution is putting something unique and useful in an out-of-the-box configuration file. If it's okay with you, I'd like to close this bug, as I don't think it's a problem with the software's functionality, it's a configuration issue. regards Andrew -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
