I had no problem getting the WIDE DHCP client to work. I'm running FreeBSD 2.1.5. I got the GENERIC WIDE DHCP source code and ran the patches in current/ports/dhcp .The client works perfectly i.e, it's able to configure itslef with the address obtained and renews the lease when it expires. (though I had a tough time figuring out how to specify MOBILE_IP option. In this implementaion there is no way of specifying the options either through a configuration file or command line params. All the necessary options are hard coded in the source code. However u can modify the source code to do this. Its not a big job. Maybe a configuration file will be better as the list of options can be really large.) If ur client is not configuring properly, maynbe the BRDCAST address & subnet_mask its recieving from the server are not proper. Check the /etc/dhcpdb.pool (provided the server also runs WIDE DHCP) on the server machine. -Kavitha >If you don't have any luck, drop me some email.
