Ok, so your saying that everything works fine UNLESS you MANUALLY try to renew the lease with "ipconfig" with Win2K. Is the lease not renewing automatically (with the default one week lease period)? Does the client lose connectivity unless you manually renew? I don't understand why you are manually "renew'ing" the lease. If you do this, you should get a lease with a different ip if I understand the udhcp documentation correctly. > I know the obvious solution would be to go back to using the > standard dhcpd/dhclient files, however the purpose for using this was > for size, and I still need the space. I guess, I really don't understand what is going wrong, more details would give me an idea what to fix, or if this is even possible to fix with udhcp. There are not as many signals to work with udhcpd as there is with dhcpd, but it should work pretty much the same. > I don't know if this is affecting anyone else, but I thought I > would mention it and see if I get any feed back... I haven't had any problems with it here in a month. I did have a problem with my Slackware8 workstation renew'ing automatically with dhcpcd, but I think this could have been due to a cascaded hub that was going bad ..... I switched the hub out and haven't had a problem with either LEAF package since. I do know that "udhcpd" doesn't like clients giving up a lease manually, it does lose that lease when this happens and renews with a different one. If you need a static ip for that machine, simply set your workstation for one in the fourth ip range (199-253) like you would with the stock "dhcpd" package..... you can can the lease range manually with "/etc/udhcpd.conf" is you want the lease range to be different.
