I cannot see any dhcp or bootp requests beeing issued to my dhcp server except the initial one by the network card. When autoconfig should happen (the card is recognised, and the driver loaded), the kernel prints the following: IP-Config: Guessing netmask 255.0.0.0 IP-Config: Complete: device=eth0, addr=10.110.169.221, mask=255.0.0.0, gw=255.255.255.255, host=10.110.169.221, domain=, nis-domain=(none), bootserver=255.255.255.255, rootserver=255.255.255.255, rootpath= Root-NFS: No NFS server available, giving up 10.110.169.221 is my servers address, the client should get .116, but as I said no BOOTP od DHCP request is sent ...
