maybe im a little confused, but any of these machines running dhcpd ? or
linux is acting as the client ?
maybe a silly question, but do you have the multicast route set on the Linux
box ? I haven't setup DHCP relays on Linux before, but its just a thought,
although this route is not required if its just a dhcp client.

Subject: [SLUG] Help with dhcrelay


I am trying to get dhcrelay to work between 2 subnets.

The agent sits on subnet A and hears the DHCPDISCOVER packets OK (they are
from NT boxen, BTW) and forwards them on to the DHCP server on subnet B
(again an NT box).  The server comes back with a DHCPOFFER to the agent,
but the latter fails to forward this back to the requesting client's MAC
address, it just ignores it.

Looking at the packets with tcpdump they look fine, in both directions,
and forwarding is set on, but I do not think that would be an issue here
anyway.

There used to be a hassle with Linux and the ultimate broadcast IP.  Is
that still a hassle and how do I set it up under linuxconf (preferably)

All and any assistance appreciated.
