Trying to keep this on the users list... Just need to check a couple things: 1) You collected the MAC addresses using the Setup Networking window by network booting your clients?
2) You didn't make any manual modifications to the DHCPD configuration? 3) You are seeing messages like DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 7 not just DHCPDISCOVER on lo to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 7 ? 4) Make sure your network is set up correctly (physically, and in the OS). 5) You are using an up-to-date SIS autoinstall diskette or are network (i.e. PXE) booting the clients? You can also check the logs on the server... they should be in /var/log/messages. You can search for dhcpd to find the relevant information more quickly. You can watch that file, using `tail`, while a client is booting. You might be able to see what is going wrong.
