When my Linux (Archlinux) client request a lease, this happens: [root@weld:~]$ dhcpcd -n eth0 eth0: dhcpcd 4.0.2 starting eth0: broadcasting for a lease eth0: offered 10.0.0.176 from 10.0.1.1 `mirrorball' eth0: checking 10.0.0.176 is available on attached networks ... and then it times out, and does not configure the network. This makes me think that there may be a client issue, since the DCHP server does indeed offer an address. But I also have troubles with a Mac OS X client (although it's a little more vague about the errors). Svein Halvor
