Subject: [dhcwg] DHCP clients accept IP #s from wrong subnet

Hi,

I am trying to setup a DHCP server to assign IP addresses to clients on the xtreme subnetwork.  When the client is booted, it's broadcasting the DHCPDISCOVER message and the xtreme server picks up the message.  The server then sends out a DHCPOFFER of an IP# on the xtreme subnet.  However,the client requests an IP address on a different subnet (named craft) and the DHCP server on that craft subnet then acknowledges the request while the server the xtreme subnet sends a negative acknowledgement.  What's
going on and how can I force the dhcp client to accept an IP # from the xtreme subnet?  We are in a switched network and are using RedHat Linux as the OS.

Thanks,
Ashwin.
