(i do not have any sort of dhcp-anything installed). either that or Apple fixed thier OF to only work with Apple-dhcp (TM) if thats the case we will have to reverse engineer the non-standard proprietary extensions and decide whether support for it should be added to a dhcp/bootp server. > Has anyone seen this before?
