it is your DHCP /SERVER/ machine which was upgraded, not the clients (I say this because I started out the note thinking it was a client that was upgraded and no longer fetching from the DHCP server) Show us what is happening, what you expected to happen, why you expected etc., rather than diagnosing the problem for us. :) Contents of dhcpd.conf would be interesting, as well as any message in /var/log/daemon regarding dhcpd. More details on what you did for the upgrade might also be interesting, as a fair number of people (including me) have upgraded their DHCP servers from 4.1 (and before) to 4.2 to 4.3 without reporting this problem, so my guess at this point is either something strange was done during the upgrade process or the problem is not directly related to the upgrade. There isn't much to dhcpd: dhcpd.conf and /usr/sbin/dhcpd are about it. Some other files launch it, but if it is running, it will be mostly those two files. dhcpd was replaced in the upgrade process, dhcpd.conf /should/ be untouched. Looking at the dates on those files will tell a few things, I suspect. Nick.
