RE: DHCP Problems

I had the same problem (sent to this list 6/13/2001) when I tried to set up
DHCP on a Token Ring subnet (we had to remove the dual nic NT machine had
been serving the TR addresses before).  We never got any machine to retrieve
an address (they would hand up on boot).  Instead of IPLing the AS/400 we
turned on DHCP on another NT server and everything worked fine.

Like a lot of things on the pc side that the AS/400 does it may work one
time and not another.  It would be handy if you could rely on it.

Anyone experiencing problems with the DHCP server on the 400 ?

We're running V4R5.  My laptop is set to obtain IP address via DHCP, and
every night when I take it home it gets an IP address from the @home
network (cable modem) and every morning it gets an address from the 400 on
our office LAN.  That was every morning for the last year, until today !
The laptop (Win98 2nd edition) insists it's unable to connect to the DHCP
server.  I released the DHCP lease on another PC in the office and tried
to renew it and it too had the same problem.  Had to hardcode an IP
address, Gateway & DNS servers for now.

400 is at V4R5 with cum package C1198450 plus the latest PTF I could find
for DHCP (SF65821).
