Hello, new poster and listener to this list.  I'm having a similar DHCP
problems with IBM xseries servers.  

We have a cluster of IBM xseries 330 servers, managed with xcat (now IBM
supported) via one main linux node.  The management node, as we call it, is
running Linux 7.3 and is the TFTP/DHCP server (works fine on the back end
network (two nics) to do PXE installs of Linux).  We are now attempting to
use the same setup to build some servers as Windows 2000 (business request,
not personal choice).  The x330 family uses Intel Pro 100 NICs, using the
E100B.dos driver.  

The network boot gets stuck when tcptsr.exe is called to get an address.
Things just hang at this point.  I read somewhere on microsoft that
tcptsr.exe would hang  without options dhcp-rebinding-time and
dhcp-renewal-time, which both have now been added to dhcpd.conf with a value
of 300 (seconds).  still no go.  

Anyone have a similar type setup, or run into similar issues with
tcptsr.exe?  Is there anything I should specifically include in the
dhcpd.conf file for the address to be returned?  I really feel the issue is
on the server end...

Thanks,
Ed
