Hello all, I'm having trouble with a bootpd server I recently migrated to a new box. The old one (potato, kernel 2.2) worked fine. Moved the data to the new box (testing, kernel 2.4) and most of the clients can get their leases. The exceptions are some printers (HP 4000's mostly) that fail. The request looks like this in tcpdump:
14:53:12.733894 0.0.0.0.bootpc > 255.255.255.255.bootps: xid:0x32158 secs:20510 flags:0x8000 [|bootp] Responses from the old server look like this: 14:53:12.741519 hostname.domain.tld.bootps > 255.255.255.255.bootpc: xid:0x32158 flags:0x8000 Y:printer.domain.tld S:server.doamin.tld ether 0:x:x:x:x:x sname "server" [|bootp] Both servers record the transaction in daemon.log. Only the new server actually sends it out. The new server never shows a response in tcpdump. I've read the dhcp mini-howto which explains about adding a host route for 255.255.255.255. Did that and still no result. Also looked through the kernel docs to see if there was a /proc setting that needed changing, but didn't see anything. A search on debian.org in the mail arcihives and bug logs didn't turn up anything. Any and all suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
