Windows 7 and DHCP
Hi, We're having a similar issue that's been noted on the list before but I can't seem to find if it was ever resolved. Here's a link to the archives where it was discussed. http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-vcl-user/201104.mbox/%3C4DB59638.5000609%40ncsu.edu%3E Anyway, I have a Windows 7 base image (not captured yet). Both network interfaces are set to DHCP. The public interface successfully grabs an IP address but the private interface does not. All it does is assign on auto-configuration address (169.254.x.x). We've tried the recommendation in the email message I linked to. Here's what I see in the messages log: (note: I've changed the actual IP address offered to x.x.x.x - a real IP was offered).

Re: Windows 7 and DHCP
Hi Adam, Not to jump to the goofy, but could the Windows firewall be blocking it? Also, if you hand-assign an appropriate IP (disable DHCP on the adapter) can Windows communicate properly on the interface?

Re: Windows 7 and DHCP
Hi I have the same issue with DHCP, which seems to only affect Win 7 (32 and 64). Linux and XP work OK. I've disabled dhcp broadcast flag (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928233) on both private and public interface on Win 7 image. Since then I get a lot less DHCP errors on Win 7 reservations, but still get few once in a while. Looking at my dhcpd logs files it seems like Win 7 doesn't not accept DHCPOFFER - I see multiple requests from Win 7, but it never gets IP address. Even when I manually run ipconfig /release, /renew. Where is your DHCP server located? Is it on the same subnet/broadcast domain or you have DHCP Relay agent on your subnet to communicate with DHCP server?
