** sorry if this is a repeat--I was having problems w/ my mail program and I
wasn't sure this was actually sent! **
Has anyone out there tried/succeeded to port the ISC beta version 2 DHCP
server? I've tried, but not with much success......
1) My Win98 (B20.1) system has 2 ethernet adapters, and it seems that the
SIOCGIFCONF ioctl doesn't work right for multiple adapters (I got
back 2 ifreq entries, first one had no name and Family=0, second one
was one of my ethernet adapters, but of course not the one I wanted
the DHCP server to use!). I kludged in an ifreq entry for the other
ethernet adapter card and got the server to start listening.
2) I have a DHCP client that I have verified is sending broadcast packets
as it should, but the DHCP server never receives them. (Actually, if I
run the DHCP client on the same box as the server, then the server
receives the packets, but it doesn't receive them from a remote host).
Any help would be appreciated!!!!
