Re: HELP! dhcp server not talking to clients



hmm.. interesting.  it's possible that your udp packets are getting
dropped because your 10.0.0.x and 192.168.1.x networks have different
subnet masks.  how about this:

on your linux box,
- turn off dhcpd 
- set up your box to automatically configure it's ethernet device via dhcp
	("auto eth0" and "iface eth0 inet dhcp" in /etc/network/interfaces)
# /etc/init.d/networking restart

and see if your linux box sees this dhcp server as well.  also, do you
have some kind of fancy d-link or linksys router?  sometimes they run
dhcp daemons as well.
