Strange problem with MacOS 9 and isc-dhcpd

Grrr, darn Google, sorry for the top posting.
 
Check is out and read about the dhcp bug and see if it
affects you.

someone had seen this before.



I am running isc-dhcpd 3.0.1.r14_6 on a FreeBSD 4.11-REL
machine. This box
also serves as the primary gateway router and firewall (and
general "network
services" machine).



All of my *nix and Windows machines get IP's just fine from
the DHCP server,
but for some reason, my G3 Mac running Mac OS 9.2.2 won't
get its reserved
address.



Although I use DHCP, I have assigned each machine (MAC
address) a fixed IP &
DNS entry. The DHCP server is to simplify maintenance. So,
for example, the
file server uses DHCP, but is always mapped to 192.168.1.2.
The Mac,
however, is either refused, or refuses to take its preset
address, and ends
up obtaining one in the "guest" pool.



I can upgrade to Mac OS X.2, but have been hesitant, as this
is an older
machine with only built-in video. I also hate to sink any
more money into
such an old system. I could just statically map the address,
but that would
defeat the purpose of the DHCP server - which was to avoid
hardcoding
network settings.



Is there a way to sweet talk either the DHCP server, or the
Mac, into taking
the reserved address?
