Hey All, I was trying to help a freind get his DHCP working, but got stuck.
He has a DHCP server set up across the WAN. I know that routers drop broadcasts, so I thought I would be able to turn the DHCP/UDP broadcasts into unicasts by providing an ip-helper address, on the local ethernet pointing to the remote DHCP server, so I did, but this did not work. Secondly I tried putting on the ip dhcp-server a.b.c.d command, and thought maybe this would point incoming traffic towards the DHCP server, but again this did not work. I even tried doing the old ip forward-protocol udp statement. Then when I did a show run, I saw a no ip directed-broadcast statement, on the ethernet so I enabled that, but still no difference. Pls. Can someone give me a brief nudge in the direction I should be going next, or point out where I am going wrong. The DHCP server is working OK! I can ping it from the routers and can get addresses from the local network. The PC's are fine, waiting for an IP Address. My brain is tired and any hints would be appreciated.
