DHCPD Windows XP DHCPOFFER no DHCPREQUEST

Hello all.

Had a RedHat 7.3 FW/server running my local network just fine... then
I migrated to Fedora Core 1. Now I can't get my XP Pro box to pickup
a DHCP addr. The request times out on the XP client, never having
sent DHCPREQUEST to the server. I've tried it with a fixed allocation
and with a dynamic range. I've made sure that dhcpd v3.0p12 is in use
and that there are no competing DHCP servers on the network.

Works fine from my Win2k/ME machines - fails from XP Pro. Checked
Mickeysoft's site and haven't found any patches to their XP DHCP
client.

Any help appreciated!

Hi,

this is obviously a XP thing, so your in the wrong NG. Since this is other
Hardware on the XP machine, does the network work alright with a static IP?
Can you ping 127.0.0.1? Can you ping your static IP if configured? Is your
firewall accepting DHCP-offers?

Alex

Thanks for the reply, Alex.

I can't tell if it's an XP thing or a dhcpd thing. The XP box works
fine on other networks (it's a laptop) and has been on atleast 5 other
dhcp-based networks in the past 4 months. Just to be sure, I'll
cross-post on a MS NG...

Yes, the NIC works fine (with a static IP) - I'm using it now.
Yes, the Fedora Server manages IPs for 2 win2k machines and 1 winme
machine just fine without complaint.

This problem seems to have something to do with the negotiation
between XP and the ISC dchpd server. Today, I tried:
always-reply-rfc1048 on;
always-broadcast on;
.... settings from other posts - both without resolve.

Still searching for a cure...
