Has the 98 box every been on another DHCP segment with .54 in its range?
Upon booting, the 98 machine (as well as 95 and NT) request the last
DHCP address that they used. If the server CAN provide it, it will
respond positively, even if it leaves a "hole" in its own internal
address space...

Subject: Win 98 Client Acquires Weird IP Address
*** From dhcp-server -- To unsubscribe, see the end of this
message. ***
Hi,
I am running dhcp 2.0b1pl6-2 on Red Hat 5.2 with kernel 2.0.36.
I have one
client on the network so far, a Windows 98 box. The first time
that I
started dhcpd, the dhcpd.leases file was empty. When the Win 98
client
acquired an IP address, it acquired 192.168.1.54 as its IP
number. Why I
find this unusual is that my IP address pool is from
192.168.1.20 to
192.168.1.100. There are *no* other machines on the network.
Several times,
I have tried clearing the dhcpd.leases file and released the IP
address and
renewed the lease on the Win 98 client just to see what IP
number it would
acquire. It consistently acquires .54. I have never seen this
behaviour
before. Experience tells me that it should acquire .20 if no
other machines
are on the network. I can ping and browse and all that good
stuff but
inquiring minds have to know. You can see the contents of my
dhcpd.conf
file below. I substituted a bogus domain for the real one. Any
idea why
this is happening?
# begin dhcpd.conf
default-lease-time 7200;
max-lease-time 14400;
option domain-name "mydomain.com";
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
option broadcast-address 192.168.1.255;
option domain-name-servers 165.154.140.31, 165.154.140.32;
option netbios-name-servers 192.168.1.1;
option netbios-dd-server 192.168.1.1;
option netbios-node-type 8;
subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0
{
range 192.168.1.20 192.168.1.100;
}
# end dhcpd.conf
