We've installed dhcp-2.0b1pl18 on our FreeBSD 3.1 server to serve up
address information to our small (5 node) network.
We've switched 2 clients over to work with it. One is a win95 machine,
which starts up, gives the error message 'could not obtain an address',
and continues. If you start 'winipcfg', and say 'renew', it obtains an
address immediately. This machine (dutchman) has a 'host' entry in
/etc/dhcpd.conf (at the end of this message).
The other machine is a Win98 laptop which normally uses DHCP (mickeysoft's
version) at work. When I plug it in here at home, no amount of 'renew' /
etc commands will get a lease. I consistently get a "Permission denied"
error window (with some other garbage in the window - like quotes and
things, nothing coherent).
If I manually configure the Win98 client, it works fine on the 10.x.x.x
network we use.
Any suggestions? We'd like to switch over to everyone using dhcp, but
gotta fix these issues. :)
Here's my conf file:
