I've tried to serve an IP to a Vista host using dhcpd, and I really
couldn't. I've been using dhcpd since years ago in many environments,
and it's the first time I cannot get it working.
The client issues Discover, the server Offers, and the client says
nothing until a new Discover, and so on.
I've seen it working with another DHCP. That DHCP server gives some more
fields in the Offer message. Concretely, options 58 and 59
(dhcp-rebinding-time and dhcp-renewal-time) and something about NetBios.
I've tried enabling those options 58 and 59 in dhcpd.conf, and even
though, they are not sent in the Offer packet.
in dhcp-options(5) there's written that "those options are not user
configurable".
Has anybody had success serving a Vista with dhcpd?
