try putting on ip accounting on to the interface where your server / gateway is. If you see the address of your server that you should have configured in the helper address at the remote end then the packets are getting there o.k. If this is the case I reckon you should check your DHCP server. Are you running any trunk links on cats or anything. I came across a problem a while ago that if the packets headed across a trunk link to get to the server then it wouldn't work. It turned out that on the cats if you done set trunk blah blah on instead of auto then it wouldn't work. So if you do have trunks then set them to auto and that will work. (Cisco feature). -----Original Message----- From: Roan, Wayne [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 17 August 2000 20:34 To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: DHCP Group, I mis-spoke, its two Cisco router talking to one another, not a DSL router and a Cisco router.

Thanks, Wayne -----Original Message----- From: Roan, Wayne [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, August 17, 2000 2:39 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: DHCP Group, I have a site connected to s DSL cloud to our main office. The host DSL router is connected to our Cisco Internet route which also sits on our LAN. I am trying to run DHCP on our LAN and have the remote clients request an address from our local DHCP server. The DHCP is NT 4.0, when I view DHCP manager, I see a space with no IP addess, no name, but the MAC address for the remote PCs. What am I doing wrong? I have a DHCP helper on the remote LAN, and Cisco says there are no special configurations needed. I was thinking the router was not allowing the correct node type across the network, but Cisco says the router does not block DHCP node types. Help.
