Linux clients working, XP not.

[Jeff Sumner]

Nah, no relay, and thanks for the reply.

I've seen that, and have tried applying the registry fixes- but it's not
working.

Linux DHCP with the same builds seem to work okay, meaning that there might
well be an AIX problem.
 
What's funky is that I DO see packets coming back on Wireshark (running on
the system requesting DHCP)- the XP box just doesn't act like it hears 'em.
The DHCP Discover comes into the AIX box with everything looking great, but
has the 169.254 autoconfig address in it (option 50). I've set up a pool in
the DHCP server trying to get the DHCP server to send out a NAK for the
169.254 (no, it's not coming over as a renewal), but that's only because I'm
starting to get short of ideas.
