In atempting to configure DHCP service through xjoin from my 255/300 I
managed to permanently foul up the "Preload MAC Address" tab; through
hitting backspace and highlighting sections, I find myself in the
following predicament:
When I highlight an entry on the left(showing the correct MAC address),
the mac address that shows on the right is not of the correct length and
ends with a colon. The "type" field says 9 and the length field says 0. I
cannot edit any of these fields to remedy this situation and when I hit
the delete button, it tells me I can't delete it because the format of the
entry is incorrect!
I attempted to track down the files containing this info but to no
avail. Does anyone know where the preload MAC address info is? (It does
not seem to be in /etc/join).
Also, following DEC's instructions, I tried to set it up such that a
given MAC address could only recieve a specific IP address. The manual
states that this can be accomplished by going into the "Active IP
Snapshot" menu and manually setting a mac address and a corresponding IP.
I did this and hit File|Update and restarted, but the pc's keep taking any
non-allocated IP in the range rather than the ones I specified. Subsequent
visits to the "Active IP Snapshot" menu (after hitting refresh) show the
pc's as having the correct IP's...that is to say the ones they got...NOT
the ones I wanted them to have!
Does anyone have any experience with setting up this type of DHCP
configuration?
Thanks in advance,
Joshua Breindel
