Hello, I have been running DNSMasq for some time now on a network consisting mainly of Windows XP and Linux machines, with no problems at all.
I brought my daughter a new laptop for Christmas and it came with Windows 7. Sadly, this is what she uses at school so I have to stick with it. For some reason, it refuses to accept IP addresses handed out by DNSMasq. Logs are full of: Dec 28 21:29:21 gateway dnsmasq-dhcp[27812]: DHCPREQUEST(eth0) 192.168.0.190 ac:72:89:11:44:32 Dec 28 21:29:21 gateway dnsmasq-dhcp[27812]: DHCPACK(eth0) 192.168.0.190 ac:72:89:11:44:32 millsy-PC Dec 28 21:29:26 gateway dnsmasq-dhcp[27812]: DHCPREQUEST(eth0) 192.168.0.190 ac:72:89:11:44:32 Dec 28 21:29:26 gateway dnsmasq-dhcp[27812]: DHCPACK(eth0) 192.168.0.190 ac:72:89:11:44:32 millsy-PC Dec 28 21:29:40 gateway dnsmasq-dhcp[27812]: DHCPREQUEST(eth0) 192.168.0.190 ac:72:89:11:44:32 Dec 28 21:29:40 gateway dnsmasq-dhcp[27812]: DHCPACK(eth0) 192.168.0.190 ac:72:89:11:44:32 millsy-PC Dec 28 21:29:50 gateway dnsmasq-dhcp[27812]: DHCPREQUEST(eth0) 192.168.0.190 ac:72:89:11:44:32 Dec 28 21:29:50 gateway dnsmasq-dhcp[27812]: DHCPACK(eth0) 192.168.0.190 ac:72:89:11:44:32 millsy-PC Over and over. But Windows 7 just refuses to accept the IP. Turing off DNSMasq and enabling the DHCP server on my router works just fine on the W7 machine. I am running the version of DNSMasq currently in Debian Sid - 2.59. Cheers Simon
