Hi,

    I trying to install the wide-dhcp server from the 2.1.5-packages 
and I can't seem to get it to work.  I would like to use the server 
to serve up both bootp and dhcp clients, all with statically assigned 
addresses.  I did what the man pages and the installation 
instructions said but it is not working. When a windows machine tries 
to get its address from the server I get an error message that says 
something about no more addresses available in the pool.  I find this 
strange because I am assigning addresses statically and that 
particular machine should always have the same address available.
Can somebody help me?

On a somewhat related note, I also would like the freeBSD machine 
that is serving as the dhcp/bootp server to be on multiple networks 
and I thought I could accomplish this by adding the following lines 
to /etc/rc.local:
ifconfig ed0 alias 168.26.195.19 netmask 255.255.255.255
ifconfig ed0 alias 168.26.197.19 netmask 255.255.255.255
ifconfig ed0 alias 168.26.198.19 netmask 255.255.255.255
ifconfig ed0 alias 168.26.199.19 netmask 255.255.255.255

The machines main address is 168.26.193.19. When I do the above I get 
messages on other freeBSD machines that say something like:
/kernel arplookup 168.26.199.19 failed: host  is not on local network
Are these messages harmless? I can ping 168.26.199.19 and telnet into 
it.  Would this have anything to do with my dhcp problems?

Thanks,
C.P.
