Re: DHCP Not Working

It's probably something simple but I cannot get DHCP working on Tiger Server.

We'd previously had an AirPort Base Station doing NAT/DHCP for this office of 16 Macs. I just got the Xserve up and running and the DHCP service is running, listening on en1 (the LAN).

I've specified 10.0.1.100-10.0.1.200 as the dynamic addresses. Each Mac on the network ends up with a self-assigned IP.

If I manually assign an IP in the subnet 10.0.1.0/24, everything works fine but if I set the client Mac to DHCP, they get 169.254...


Running a packet capture on the server - do you see the DHCP request from the client Ethernet...

Are the Macs still behind the AirPort, and if so has it been changed to a Bridge configuration?

I've ruled out (I think) a firewall problem by first allowing any to any from 10.0.1.0/24 and even by turning off the firewall entirely. As before, NAT works fine and everyone can connect with a manually- assigned address but no one is given a dynamic address.

This is my first exposure to DHCP service in OS X server 10.4.11. What have I overlooked?


Also it sometimes happens that the DHCP server tries to start too early on boot when there are no interfaces active - check the DHCP logs for similar errors?

Cheers
David
