I've been working on converting from the bundled dhcp server
that comes with HPUX 10.20 to the ISC dhcp server, and have
a couple of questions:
1) I found the note in the README that says I need to change
my broadcast address to all ones. I have not yet made that
change, but the symptoms I am seeing are: clients on the same
network as the dhcp server for some reason don't seem to be
able to accept the DHCPOFFERs that are sent, while clients
on other subnets which have their dhcp requests forwarded are
successful in receiving the DHCPOFFERs that are sent to them.
(none of this is really relevant to my question, though.)
(Here's the real question:) Why doesn't the bundled HP dhcp
server have this same problem in getting offers accepted by
the clients?
IOW, the only piece that changed is the dhcp server software,
and now the local win clients are unable (or are refusing) to
accept offers.
Would a packet dump of offers from the stock HP dhcp server
help make it so that ISC dhcp can be installed without
requiring certain OSes to change their networking config in
order to get ISC dhcp to work?
2) The README says that it's the "picky windows" clients that
are causing the problem, but if they are performing to the
spec (the RFCs), isn't the problem really somewhere else?
(Please note, I am in no way a MS apologist, but to me it
looks like the "blame" is misplaced. And if I'm wrong, I
expect I'll get corrected.)
