problems with dhcpd

[LL0rd]

Hi,

I've got some Problems with my DHCPd server. I use this server for connecting to my WLAN network. It worked fine, but in the last time, I get strange IP adresses. If you connect to the WLAN network, everything works fine, you get one IP Adress out of the range of 192,168.1.60-120 (Windows XP Clients), but suddenly the Client changes its IP Adress in something like 169.x.x.x. When I reconnect to the network, I get the right IP Adress again. Same with the wired network.

Any ideas?

The IP address 169.x.x.x is not from dhcpcd, it is from Windows XP. That usually happens when you fail to get an IP address from the dhcp server.

hmmm........ and why windows try to get the IP Adress of the dhcp server? When I connect to the network, the PC already has a valid ip adress. why the refresh after some time?

It sounds like you're losing connection with the wireless network.
