Is option netbios-name-servers working?

Hi,

The client sends a dhcp-option-request asking for a list of specific 
options. The server only sends the options to the client if it asks for 
them, and if it is configured.

Can you find the DHCPREQUEST packet from the client in your wireshark 
dump and see what options it asked for?

What does your dhcpd.conf look like?

regards,
Glenn
