Hello,
After installing 9 new desktops with DHCP I changed the network
config to static IP and restart the network. But they are still
requesting DHCP adresse. The dhcp server gives them a dynamic IP and
then there are no free lease (we have only 5 for guests).
You don't have the 2 "different" machines in your dhcpd.conf do you ?
I have my dhcp server reply for my static addresses as well as for guests
(very similar to a BOOTP request really - I nearly asked if the requests
were bootp since dhcpd can reply to those too).
Some of our recent windows machines seem to insist on making dhcp requests
even after I've reconfigured them to know their own address :=(
Can you confirm that the problem relates to 5.4 and not to the Dell 760s ?
Ie do the earlier machines upgraded to 5.4 also show the problem ?
If it is just the 760s I'd be looking at the serial-over-LAN
console features of AMT.
