by We are using an NT4 server to handle DHCP requests from some Mac and WinNT
clients. We have about a dozen segments (each with it's own class C block)
routed by 4 linux boxes. I have got bootpgw (from RedHat 4.0, bootpd 2.4.3)
running on the routers:
On intra1 (192.168.1.1)
bootpgw apollo
On intra2 (192.168.21.1)
bootpgw apollo
apollo (192.168.51.11) is the NT box
intra1 has four segments (192.168.1.0, 192.168.6.0, 192.168.11.0, 192.168.16.0)
intra2 has four segments (192.168.21.0, 192.168.31.0, 192.168.41.0,
192.168.51.0)
intra1 and intra2 are connected to another segment 192.168.128.0
If I connect Mac (Open Transport 1.1.2) and WinNT (workstation 4) boxes
onto the segment that the DHCP server is on they work fine.
If I connect the a Mac to one of the segments on intra2 that doesn't have
the DHCP server on I see this in the logs:
Feb 12 14:15:45 intra2 bootpgw[8449]: version 2.4.3

Feb 12 14:20:49 intra2 bootpgw[8449]: request from 0.0.0.0
The Mac never gets a response from the DHCP server. If I connect an NT box
the same happens (except I don't see any "short packets").
I have the log turned on on the DHCP server, it records the sucessful
leasing when things are working, nothing is recorded when going via bootpgw.
Help.
