I have 2 XP(Pro) Laptops.One of them
manages to correctly obtain IP address from
a Linux DHCP server.The otherone doesn't. I
sniffed the packets and can see that XP
sends a DISCOVER and is provided an OFFER.
XP doesn't seem to be sending a REQUEST
message back to the server, instead it
reissues a DISCOVER message.Has anyone
observed this before? Any way of checking
why XP doesn't like the OFFER.Just to
dispel any doubts..it works fine with our
corporate dhcp server(Windows I guess!!! )
