DHCP client and XPE FP2007
Andrea Valori 12.07.2007 09:44:01
Hi to everyone,
I have a big trouble with DHCP client in FP2007 (but, like I see on this
newsgroup, similar problems arises starting from the SP2 release). I have a
minlogon image with FBWF on, booting from a CF. Like suggested in other posts
(thanks, KM!) in my image I added the core networking (without firewall) and
basic tcp/ip networking macro, the client for MSnetwork component and
disabled the APIPA feature. If I boot the image, at first time the DHCP
client receive the espected address from a WIN2k3 DHCP server, but if I
change the requested IP for the image from the DHCPserver and reboot the
client, it mantains the old address (!) until I manually call a ipconfig
/release and ipconfig /renew command from the cmd. I see this behaviour with
the FBWF on or off. The NIC is a Realtek RTL8139C+ and I try to select for it
either the rtl8139 family xpe component and the rtl8139c+ component obtained
from the driver package downloaded from Realtek. Please note, as usually,
that with the XPE SP1 and the same computer/image I never seen this problem!
Thanks in advance,
Andrea Valori.

I've dealt with some DHCP client issues so I might be able to help but I
don't understand what "if I change the requested IP for the image from the
DHCPserver" means. Does this mean that you have made a reservation of a
specific IP address for your client's MAC address? If so, why would you
expect the client IP address to change before its lease expires? It would
be hard for me to believe that the behavior in this case varies for
different versions of the client since the client has no way of knowing what
configuration options are being changed on the server.
