DHCP server problem??
This is probably more of a Windows question (apologies for any
offense), but I'm running a Sarge system with dhcp3-server, and maybe
someone out there has seen this or has an idea.
I have a new Dell Optiplex XP system (Broadcom NetXtreme NIC) I set up
as a DHCP client. When I enable the LAN interface on it, hundreds of
lines of the following show up in the server syslog.
Nov 7 09:57:33 isurus dhcpd: DHCPDISCOVER from 00:12:3f:57:e3:f1 (vetintern) via eth0
Nov 7 09:57:33 isurus dhcpd: DHCPOFFER on 12.174.210.232 to 00:12:3f:57:e3:f1 (vetintern) via eth0
Nov 7 09:57:34 isurus dhcpd: DHCPREQUEST for 12.174.210.232 (12.174.210.2) from 00:12:3f:57:e3:f1 (vetintern) via eth0
Nov 7 09:57:34 isurus dhcpd: DHCPACK on 12.174.210.232 to 00:12:3f:57:e3:f1 (vetintern) via eth0
Nov 7 09:57:34 isurus dhcpd: DHCPDISCOVER from 00:12:3f:57:e3:f1 (vetintern) via eth0
Nov 7 09:57:34 isurus dhcpd: DHCPOFFER on 12.174.210.232 to 00:12:3f:57:e3:f1 (vetintern) via eth0
Nov 7 09:57:35 isurus dhcpd: DHCPREQUEST for 12.174.210.232 (12.174.210.2) from 00:12:3f:57:e3:f1 (vetintern) via eth0
Nov 7 09:57:35 isurus dhcpd: DHCPACK on 12.174.210.232 to 00:12:3f:57:e3:f1 (vetintern) via eth0
This continues indefinitely -- while the XP box continues to think
it's acquiring an address. It continues until I disable the
interface. Everything works if I give it a static address.
Any help appreciated.
