[Dnsmasq-discuss] OSX client problems? 'Lease not found'

[Rory Campbell-Lange]

Hi

I'm using dnsmasq on Debian testing, version 2.19

I'm having problems with some clients not getting a lease. Consequently
their network connection appears to go up and down.

Feb  3 10:30:06 hopnet dnsmasq[3331]: DHCPNAK(eth0) 10.0.0.154 00:0a:95:d1:6c:b6 lease not found
Feb  3 10:30:06 hopnet dnsmasq[3331]: DHCPDISCOVER(eth0) 00:0a:95:d1:6c:b6
Feb  3 10:30:06 hopnet dnsmasq[3331]: DHCPOFFER(eth0) 10.0.0.154 00:0a:95:d1:6c:b6
Feb  3 10:30:07 hopnet dnsmasq[3331]: DHCPREQUEST(eth0) 10.0.0.154 00:0a:95:d1:6c:b6
Feb  3 10:30:07 hopnet dnsmasq[3331]: DHCPACK(eth0) 10.0.0.154 00:0a:95:d1:6c:b6 userb

Feb  3 10:30:38 hopnet dnsmasq[3331]: DHCPACK(eth0) 10.0.0.154 00:0a:95:d1:6c:b6 userb

hopnet:/home/rory# arp -n | grep 154
10.0.0.154               ether   00:0A:95:D1:6C:B6   C                     eth0

My dnsmasq.conf file has entries like this:

dhcp-host=00:0a:95:d1:6c:b6,userb,10.0.0.154,24

Any ideas how I can get to the bottom of this? Both people suffering
from the problem are using Titanium powerbooks, running 10.3.7.

Many thanks,
Rory
