Re: how to change isc-dhcp3-server replies? (was: isc-dhcp3-server issues with windows 2000 client)
I'd say thanks for the help, but telling someone that 'it works for me' is not helpful. I upgraded to 6.2p7 from 6.2p6 and this problem started happening, but only with dhcpd. In fact I can run the old dhcpd fine, but the new binary deos not run fine. The old binary does a dhcp reply from [dhcpd ip address] to 255.255.255.255. The new binary does a dhcp reply from [dhcpd ip address] to 192.168.0.255. Windows is not getting the reply from the new binary. This is not the correct behavior. In fact there is a bug in OLD 2.2 linux kernels that says that the kernel routing is messed up (see isc-dhcp3 web site docs).

As far > as I can tell the broadcast address of a subnet *never* is 255.255.255.255. It is for DHCPDISCOVER, since there is no subnet yet: # dhclient -d fxp0 DHCPDISCOVER on fxp0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 4 As for the option you're looking for, man dhcpd.conf showed me this: always-broadcast flag; The DHCP and BOOTP protocols both require DHCP and BOOTP clients to set the broadcast bit in the flags field of the BOOTP message header. Unfortunately, some DHCP and BOOTP clients do not do this, and there- fore may not receive responses from the DHCP server.The DHCP server can be made to always broadcast its responses to clients by setting this flag to 'on' for the relevant scope; relevant scopes would be inside a conditional statement, as a parameter for a class, or as a parameter for a host declaration. To avoid creating excess broadcast traffic on your network, we recommend that you restrict the use of this option to as few clients as possible. For example, the Microsoft DHCP client is known not to have this problem, as are the OpenTransport and ISC DHCP clients.

how to change isc-dhcp3-server replies? (was: isc-dhcp3-server issues with windows 2000 client)
Hello, after running tcpdump for a while I discoverd what is going on with my dhcpd server and why some clients are not able to get an IP address from it, in particular windows clients. It turns out it is not just win2k but any windows. It seems that the dhcpd server is replying to the subnet and not the broadcast net. So the reply that should be sent to 255.255.255.255:68 is sent to 192.168.0.255:68. Then, because the client has no IP address or has defaulted it to a 169.x.x.x(MS defaults) it does not seem to be getting the reply and thus never gets an address assigned. Anyone know how to force dhcpd to send its broadcast replies to the 'correct' broadcast address? Thanks, Joe - Choose the right car based on your needs. Check out Yahoo!

Have you tried to examine the W2K packets with something like wireshark (/usr/ports/net, formerly known as etherreal), if the w2k packets are illy formed, it should tell you. Silly question but, you are sure that there is no rogue DHCP server floating around, and that it is not a problem with wyour w2k client? > It is NOT running in a jail. > > The weird thing is that if I set IPAutoConfiguration in the win2k > registry to 0 ( turning it off ), win2k get the gateway and dhcp > server configured, but not it's IP address.

Re: isc-dhcp3-server issues with windows 2000 client
ok, to answer your questions: I built it by doing: cd /usr/ports/net/isc-dhcp3-server && make install the version = isc-dhcp3-server-3.0.5_2 for both, could their be code changes if the _2 did not change? it is started via supplied shell script isc-dhcp3, I just renamed to isc-dhcp3.sh I tried setting authoritative on and off in the dhcpd.conf file and that had no effect. It is almost like dhcpd does not even recognize the packets coming from win2k, but WinXP and FreeBSD clients seem okay. I haven't tried other clients yet (Linux / Mac) but do have them. It is NOT running in a jail. The weird thing is that if I set IPAutoConfiguration in the win2k registry to 0 ( turning it off ), win2k get the gateway and dhcp server configured, but not it's IP address.

isc-dhcp3-server issues with windows 2000 client
Hello, I tried posting under a similar topic, but not sure if it went through. I'm new on this list, but not a total newbie. I have upgraded a system from p6 to p7. Everything seems to be working on wtih the upgraded system except for dhcp. I have a backup of the old system and am using that to trouble shoot. I have narrowed it down to the dhcpd binary. If I put in the newer binary built with p7 it does not work with windows 2000. If I put in the old binary it works fine.

My question is how do I trouble shoot the two binaries? What tools can I use? How do I get dhcpd to actually put out debugging info to the syslogs or on the command line?
