Description
It seems that DHCP is not working correctly when using Linux as the host and Windows XP/Vista/7 as the guest. Networking is configured as using a Host Interface for the guests.
I've verified that the DHCP server is receiving the request and sending out the appropriate information, but the Windows guest is not receiving it. This is from the server: Feb 6 11:25:11 windwalker dhcpd: DHCPDISCOVER from 08:00:27:2f:91:7d via eth1 Feb 6 11:25:11 windwalker dhcpd: DHCPOFFER on 192.168.9.73 to 08:00:27:2f:91:7d via eth1 Feb 6 11:25:14 windwalker dhcpd: DHCPDISCOVER from 08:00:27:2f:91:7d via eth1 Feb 6 11:25:14 windwalker dhcpd: DHCPOFFER on 192.168.9.73 to 08:00:27:2f:91:7d via eth1 Feb 6 11:25:21 windwalker dhcpd: DHCPDISCOVER from 08:00:27:2f:91:7d via eth1 Feb 6 11:25:21 windwalker dhcpd: DHCPOFFER on 192.168.9.73 to 08:00:27:2f:91:7d via eth1
If I assign a static IP to the Windows guest, networking seems to work correctly from all the tests I've performed.
