Yes the sender MAC address is replaced with the bridges MAC, but it depends where the DHCP server is looking at the MAC address,
Not all DHCP work the same.

The senders MAC is replaced with the bridges MAC but the DHCP requesting MAC in the Packet is the PCs. Some DHCP servers look at the wrong address. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, September 10, 2003 2:50 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [smartBridges] Who's Responsible? If by "packet inspecting", you mean that the DHCP server is looking inside the packets, I don't think that's what is happening. We're doing this same thing (leasing IPs based on the customer PC's MAC address) using the standard ISC dhcpd. I think the Airbridges forward DHCP requests with the PC's MAC address, rather than their own. Not that it matters, but WET11s do this as well.
