I realize this is probably not really a FreeBSD question, but I was hoping someone had seen this before.
I am running isc-dhcpd 3.0.1.r14_6 on a FreeBSD 4.11-REL machine. This box also serves as the primary gateway router and firewall (and general "network services" machine). All of my *nix and Windows machines get IP's just fine from the DHCP server, but for some reason, my G3 Mac running Mac OS 9.2.2 won't get its reserved address. Although I use DHCP, I have assigned each machine (MAC address) a fixed IP & DNS entry. The DHCP server is to simplify maintenance. So, for example, the file server uses DHCP, but is always mapped to 192.168.1.2. The Mac, however, is either refused, or refuses to take its preset address, and ends up obtaining one in the "guest" pool. I can upgrade to Mac OS X.2, but have been hesitant, as this is an older machine with only built-in video. I also hate to sink any more money into such an old system. I could just statically map the address, but that would defeat the purpose of the DHCP server - which was to avoid hardcoding network settings. Is there a way to sweet talk either the DHCP server, or the Mac, into taking the reserved address? Thanks! -Seth _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
