X-Confirm-Reading-To: "Sean McGee" X-pmrqc: 1 Priority: normal X-mailer: Pegasus Mail/Windows (v1.22) Message-ID: <2E28BDE5D01@topaz.ncbc.edu> Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk system: FreeBSD 2.0R I'm having problems with bootps occassionally failing to assign clients their address. This problem occures three or four times a day. After a failure I notice the following. "Sep 11 12:04:41 jasper kernel: arplookup 0.0.0.0 failed: host is not on local network" The client will then keep trying to get an address, but eventually time-out. In /etc/inetd.conf I have the following line to startup bootps when it recieves a request: bootps dgram udp wait root /usr/libexec/bootpd bootpd -t1 Is this correct? Is their a known problem with the 2.0R version of bootps? ( I am using Winsock 2.0 with it's bootp request capability) Thanks for your help. -sean ------------------------------------------------------- Sean McGee smmcgee@ncbc.edu Network Analyst/Webmaster (612) 343-4751 North Central Bible College Minneapolis, MN http://www.ncbc.edu
