| So it has nothing to do with your setup, but with the XP dhcp cache.
On your windows box, try the following at a prompt:
# ipconfig /release
<fiddle with dhcp server>
# ipconfig /renew
That may make windows forget it's previous IP address.
NOTE: You'll have to stop the dhcp server on your firewall and delete the
state file (/var/state/dhcpd/leases, IIRC), then restart dhcpd or the server
will try to re-assign the same IP.
Or, if you really want your windows box to get a consistent IP, just add a
stanza for it in the dhcpd config file:
~ host mywinbox {
~ hardware ethernet 00:ab:cd:ef:12:34;
~ fixed-address 1.2.3.4;
~ }
...restart your dhcp server and do the ipconfig release & renew bit on your
windows machine. You can get the hardware ethernet address for your windows
machine from the dhcpd leases file or the output of "ipconfig /all" at a
command prompt on the 'doze machine.
