DHCP and Leopard Server

[ingenious7]

Hi,

I am having a lot of problems with my DHCP on Leopard Server. I never experienced these problems when running Tiger Server.

My setup is thus:

Leopard Server 10.5.2
I am running DHCP for two subnets – 192.168.0/24, 192.168.1/24
I have static maps on both subnets.

The DHCP server will dynamically issue I.P. addresses for computers that have a static MAC address map, but will not issue an address for new computers entering the network that hasn’t had a map created. Once the map is created it is fine.

Each subnet is meant to be serving I.Ps from a different network cards (ie en0 and en1), but computers on the 192.168.0/24 subnet do not receive a gateway.

Have I done something wrong?

Does this make sense to anyone. Has anyone else experienced similar.

Just turn it off and load ISC dhcpd. That’ll easily give you all the config options and should work better.

Thanks for your suggestion. We actually found the problem. I will have to consult our documentation on the problem but there was a line missing from the dhcpd.conf file which we had to edit from the terminal and add a couple lines that the OS had deleted but were required.
