Hello friends, I was trying to net boot my desktop machine. The desktop never is able to get the IP address from my laptop. I was examining the packets using wireshark. My desktop was sending dhcp request messages but my laptop never responds with any dhcp offer message. I tried various configurations of dhcp3 but none worked. Finally I uninstalled dhcp3-server and installed dnsmasq and in a jiffy my desktop picked up the IP address from my laptop and started to boot. Four of my friends also tried doing netboot with dhcp3-server but in vain. Why is dhcp3-server so badly written. And cant you ppl correct the bugs in it. Why is it a big headache to configure dhcp3-server. Cant any GUI be written for it..?
