I am having trouble configuring my windows clients. I am using SME server V5. I can get one client to work and all is funky dory. I am using SME as dhcp server, the one that connects correctly obtains an address correctly within my specified range.
But the ones that don't work (can't reach the admin page, connect to the internet through the server) don't obtain a correct address (outside the range i have specified) Sifting through the log files on the server i find that the machine that works (identified by adapter address) is sending the following messages:
DHCPREQUEST followed by a:
DHCPACK
(didn't give out any of the numbers) but the ones that don't work send these messages:
DHCPDISCOVER followed by a:
DHCPOFFER
I have freshly formated the problem machine and am 99% sure i have the correct network settings... When doing winipcfg it informs me that the dhcp server is 255.255.255.255 (which is wrong)
Sorry if this a mundane and repeated question, but i have read the documentation on the site and i can't seem to find any clues any where. Thanks heaps if any one can help me.
