Hi all,
I've compiled and configured ISC dhcpd 1.0pl1 on
RH 5.0; no problems.
I ran the following command:
route add -host 255.255.255.255 dev eth0
as advised in the dhcpd README.
Everything seems fine, but Win95 clients are not
picking up the dhcp offers.
Using tcpdump, I can see the Win95 dhcp discover message,
followed by a dhcp offer by dhcpd. This sequence repeats
three or so times and then the Win95 machine pops up an
error message saying there's no DHCP server to configure
from.
Using tcpdump, I can see the exchange as follows:
Win95: mac -> mac-broadcast
0.0.0.0 -> 255.255.255.255
dhcp discover
RH5.0: mac -> mac-broadcast
10.1.0.10 -> 255.255.255.255
dhcp offer
Why does RH5.0 send the dhcp offer to the MAC broadcast
address?
BTW, I compiled the same software on FreeBSD 2.2.5 just
to see what would happen. Again, dhcpd replies to the
Win95 dhcp discover but the PC doesn't pick it up. The
FBSD server sends the dhcp discover to the PC's unicast
MAC address; doesn't this make more sense?
Thanks for any help. Please send your replies to

Mike
