I am using DHCP Server V2.0b1pl18 on a Linux box, 2.0.33 kernel, with a
Win98 client configured to use a fixed IP address. The client is a
notebook which is set up to use dhcp in a WinNT environment at a customer
site, and I'd like to use it on my own net without having to constantly
reconfigure the Win98 networking control panel. My dhcpd.conf file looks
like this:
subnet 204.238.32.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 204.238.32.65 204.238.32.69;
option domain-name-servers catranch.wilkes.com, ns2.wilkes.com;
option domain-name "wilkes.com";
option routers 204.238.32.254;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
option broadcast-address 204.238.32.255;
default-lease-time 600;
max-lease-time 7200;
}
host on-the-road {
hardware ethernet 00:e0:98:00:9e:23;
fixed-address on-the-road.wilkes.com;
}
When I run "/usr/sbin/dhcpd -d -f" and start the Win98 notebook, I see the
following:
Listening on Socket/eth0/204.238.32.0
Sending on Socket/eth0/204.238.32.0
DHCPREQUEST for 172.27.172.55 from 00:e0:98:00:9e:23 via eth0
DHCPNAK on 172.27.172.55 to 00:e0:98:00:9e:23 via eth0
DHCPDISCOVER from 00:e0:98:00:9e:23 via eth0
DHCPOFFER on 204.238.32.9 to 00:e0:98:00:9e:23 via eth0
DHCPREQUEST for 204.238.32.255 from 00:e0:98:00:9e:23 via eth0
DHCPNAK on 204.238.32.255 to 00:e0:98:00:9e:23 via eth0
Why doesn't the Win98 client use the offered IP address? I must have
something set up incorrectly, but it is not obvious to me where the problem
lies. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
