Very Computer

I have set the following in dhcpd.conf in my linux dhcpd server.  However I
find it fails to assign ip to my win98 client correctly within the range.
Instead it still assign 192.168.1.2 to the win98 client.  I've checked the
windows directory in the win98 client and find no host or lmhost files.

subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 192.168.1.10 192.168.1.100;

Can anyone give me idea to solve this ?

Many thanks,
Fai.

The win computer holds really tight to the grabbed IP address sometimes...

On my laptop, I use winipcfg to confirm that the correct address is
gotten both at home and at work.  It should show your interface, along
with what ip it has.  You have the option to release the checkout, and
renew the address.  Sometims after bringing the laptop to work, I must
manually release the work ip, and renew to get my home network working
happily.

HTH.
