Lan Happiness??

I just got DHCP up on my Linux box. When I borrowed someone's laptop
(running linux + windows xp), the DHCP worked fine. On my old Mac OS
8.0 7100/66av, the dhcp was completely flawed. I told it to get an
address from 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.100 or 192.168.1.150 to
192.168.1.200. My mac managed to get 192.168.0.120. What's going on
here? Is it a mac or a linux problem? My linux box is running FC4T2.

P.S.
My mac has s-video in/out. Can I broadcast that over the network to my
server?

most likely its the mac. scan your dhcp-logs on the server und run dhcpd
in debug-mode to see whats going on.

yes, but you need lot of infrastructure (video-cards and a machine to
fit it in) to convert the s-video-signal into a video-stream.
It would be much easier to catch the picture on the mac itself and let
the mac do the conversion to video-stream and the transmission to server
*XOR* broadcasting to all machines in the subnet.

My logs are dead, even when DHCP was doing its job (with linux to
linux). I think I may have gotten an outdated DHCP instruction. If I
could have a new one...

poly-p man

As for the video, the s-video plays, I just need a good net-broadcast
program.

forget about it. there are thousands of dhcp-howtos on the internet
and you dont even specify any details about your system. I'm sure you'll
get along quite well without my assistance

And a *very good* adapter between the hardware s-video-out and the
cd-rom where the good program is stored

best,
