The AVVID solution I sold a few months ago is gong through implementation. This project has been problematic for a lot of reasons, so it is not unusual for a round of e-mails from the customer complaining about one thing or another.
Today was a good one, however. Shows to go you have to ask things you normally wouldn't think about. DHCP - no big deal. Works fine. All of us have probably used it or configured it. All of us probably have experience with running several small sites off a single DHCP server at a central site. So why is the customer complaining about DHCP not working, and it's because our routers are screwed up and Microsoft told them that they would have to change their network addressing to a single class B rather than subnets of /16 space, the way I designed it? The routers are configured correctly. The network is designed correctly - no overlapping subnets. IP helpering is configured correctly. Problem occurs with several users, different NIC's, either Win2K or WinXP. No one common factor. Worked just fine before we put the new routers in. Recognizing that Microsoft is full of C**P and their TCP stack is S**T, still, why the problem. Gee, what happens to DHCP when you go from a single flat bridged network to a segmented routed network? Especially to mobile users, who travel from site to site for various reasons on a regular basis? Serves me right Chuck -- www.chuckslongroad.info like my web site? take the survey!
