Hello.

I am trying to debug a problem of why a PC is getting an IP address outside of
the Dhcp server allocated range

dhcp-range=192.168.0.47,192.168.0.62,168h

but the Ip received is 192.168.0.37

[root at philserver root]$ dnsmasq -v

I was looking for any of the following:
DHCPDISCOVER
DHCPOFFER
DHCPREQUEST
DHCPACK

in the syslog file, but couldn't find them.

log-queries is not commented.
using the default log file location of /var/log/syslog

All other dnsmasq requests seem to get logged, but not dhcp initiations.

Any assistance would be apprecaited.

Philippe
