Hi,
I'm a little news with Linux and DHCPD ISC server. I set a test network with 1 DHCP client ,1 DHCP server ISC et 1 hub. My STB boot and has an IP address and DHCP options. But I'm a little suprise to see on Ethereal capture that DHCP ISC server send DHCP Offer and DHCP Ack by unicast and not by broadcast (255.255.255.255). There is any DHCP option to set for have brodcast answer from DHCP ISC server? Thanks David |
