[opensuse] dhcp on Suse 11.0
Hello, I have just noticed a strange anomaly. After migrating my dhcpd server from a Fedora box to Suse, none of my Vista users can get IP addresses. Has anyone else experienced this and if so, do you no of a solution?

Early on there was a bug in dhcp on 11.0 where dhcp would not update dns. See: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=404663 I thought it was fixed, but it is still listed as new, so I guess it's still there. I bet that's your problem. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Forgot part 2 of the response: I don't know how many vista boxes you have, but the way I dealt with it was to have dhcp assign an IP based on the mac address which works fine with the 3 vista boxes I deal with. In dhcpd.conf, I do the following: host alchemy.3111skyline.com { hardware ethernet 00:1B:9E:7C:F6:E7; fixed-address 192.168.6.102; } I have the rest of my dhcpd and bind setup at: http://www.3111skyline.com/linux/openSuSE-server.php#bind http://www.3111skyline.com/linux/openSuSE-server.php#dhcpd -- David C.
