Hello,
I have been running DNSMasq for some time now on a network consisting
mainly of Windows XP and Linux machines, with no problems at all.
I brought my daughter a new laptop for Christmas and it came with Windows
7. Sadly, this is what she uses at school so I have to stick with it.
For some reason, it refuses to accept IP addresses handed out by DNSMasq.
Logs are full of:
Dec 28 21:29:21 gateway dnsmasq-dhcp[27812]: DHCPREQUEST(eth0)
192.168.0.190 ac:72:89:11:44:32
Dec 28 21:29:21 gateway dnsmasq-dhcp[27812]: DHCPACK(eth0) 192.168.0.190

Dec 28 21:29:50 gateway dnsmasq-dhcp[27812]: DHCPREQUEST(eth0)
192.168.0.190 ac:72:89:11:44:32
Dec 28 21:29:50 gateway dnsmasq-dhcp[27812]: DHCPACK(eth0) 192.168.0.190

Over and over. But Windows 7 just refuses to accept the IP. Turing off
DNSMasq and enabling the DHCP server on my router works just fine on the W7
machine.
I am running the version of DNSMasq currently in Debian Sid - 2.59.
Cheers
Simon
