Just wondering if anyone has had an opprtunity to check out Paul Smedley's port of ISC-DHCP, specifically, the client component. A nmumber of us experience regular difficulties getting DHCP addresses using Wi-Fi and have to resort to CMD files (sometimes multiple iterations) to kick the DHCP client enough to get an address. I'm planning on testing this myself, but wanted to hear if anyone else had had a chance to try it first.


The only problem I have is that in some hotels the DHCP Server assign's me an address which is outside of the subnet of the router.  Windoze doesn't seem to have a problem with this.  After I manualy configure my setup.cmd with the proper subnet mask it usually works fine.

I have posted on this list several times why this is, but, never got a reply to the actual question.  It seems to me that the windoze DHCP client must get a subnet mask for the local IP address and a different subnet mask for the gateway.  Is it possible that the OS/2 DHCP client just isn't requesting all of the options that are required in these instances?
Thanks,
Sam
