My /etc/dhcpd.conf server has defined a gateway/router and subnet mask cat /etc/dhcpd.conf ddns-update-style interim; ignore client-updates; subnet 192.168.16.0 netmask 255.255.240.0 { # --- default gateway option routers 192.168.16.1; option subnet-mask 255.255.240.0; range dynamic-bootp 192.168.16.10 192.168.16.30; default-lease-time 21600; max-lease-time 43200; } 2. freebsd test server parameters defined as such: host r02s01 { hardware ethernet 00:A0:D1:E3:58:38; fixed-address 192.168.17.11; filename "pxeboot"; option root-path "192.168.17.1:/export/images/NFSroot_gold/freebsd7_x64"; option host-name "r02s01"; } 3. PROBLEM - when the client boots and I login ..... i notice that the netmask it is configured with is 255.255.255.0 ... Am I missing something in my configuration? I am not having these issues (i think) with my diskless Fedora, Ubuntu clients ... Any help will be greatly appreciated -- best, Vince
