There's been numerous reports of it here on freebsd-ports, and it's always between ISC dhcpd 3.0.4 and Windows machines. This time around, however, I really don't think Windows is to blame (especially since 3.0.3 works). I've yet to see anything about what the actual cause is (is it a FreeBSD port problem, or is it something in ISC's dhcpd which got changed?). I haven't upgraded to 3.0.4 on my LAN, and to be quite honest, I doubt I'm going to until this can be tracked down and solved. -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc at parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977. |
