Has anyone had a similar experience with this? I have a redhat
box with 2.2.5 kernel, ipchains and dhcpd server. Basically your stock
redhat 6 install. I have a windows 98 box with a nic, the linux box with 2
nics running dhcp to hand a lease to the win98 box on eth1 192.168's(eth0 has
live address assigned to it) and ipchains, hooked together with a hub. Just two
machines here.
The win98 box is getting all the information from the dhcp
server except the lease? In winipcfg on the win98 machine it shows the hostname
as: nodename.firewall.soandso.com, it shows the dns servers that are listed in
the dhcpd.conf, but the ip address is either 0.0.0.0 or some fixed ip address
from san diego that it pulls from the registry? Something is keeping it from
bringing the lease in and I can't figure out what it is. Everything with the
dhcpd looks great, the leases file shows it giving the win machine the address,
and the win machine shows that its trying to get the address in winipcfg.
I have read the man pages, configured the special routes that
win machines need to see the dhcpd, checked the how-to, checked irc, checked the
dhcp server archives for previous posts, to no avail? I've been beating this up
for about a week now and am really in a pickle so if someone could please help
me I would greatly greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance,
Also, when I try to renew the lease with "renew all"
it gives "error renewing adapter"
