It's likely that you've misconfigured something, however we need to know more about how your network is set up: the locations of routers & hubs & so on. Are you using ISC's DHCP server software? If you are, it might help to see a configuration that's been working for me for quite some time: http://tux.creighton.edu/~pbrutsch/dhcpd.conf. > Clients uses Intel EEpro* cards, and the server uses a D-Link card > with the chip from Davicom (using via-rhine modules) The ethernet cards shouldn't make a difference. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Phil Brutsche [EMAIL PROTECTED] "There are two things that are infinite; Human stupidity and the universe.
