I seem to have found a problem with dhcp-1.3beta when DHCP'ing for a
windows 95 box (I have little experience, so I don't know if it's just
win95).
Under windows 95, the dhcp request is sent with the REQUEST_IPADDR option
set. Dhcps will try to select an IP address based on the CID before the
requested IP, calling select_wcid() from request() in server/dhcps.c. If
it finds a match, *and* it has a REQUEST_IPADDR option (reqip.s_addr) that
differs from the entry found (res->ip_addr->s_addr), it returns(-1) - not
replying to the request.
If however, a NAK is returned, the client (win95) will do another dhcp
request without the REQUEST_IPADDR option set..... voila IP address
altered.
I'm not sure about the original logic behind returning -1 above.
If anyone's interested in reproducing this, make sure that you delete the
arp entry on the server box while the win95 box is shut down..... I wasted
a lot of time here !
The (trivial) patch is attached. Note, the freebsd port does not affect
this (nor do I know if patches have been submitted for freebsd), although
line numbers are probably different.

Don't __EVER__ lose your sense of humour
