DHCP - Invalid Request - WeOnlyDo Discussion board

Linear

I am getting in my log a ton of invalid request messages. eventually after running the dhcp server for some time, people will complain that they aren't on the network.
what can cause this?
The web says Common reasons for this happening are the client trying to confirm a lease after it has moved to a different network, or after the least has in fact already expired
I dont think this is the case.

thanks,
Joel

J.,

who generates log and how? What does 'invalid request' mean? Isn't that sent by the client PC?

Do you have some raw logs from such requests?

The log comes from a VP app that I modified from your sample full server demo.

If Trim(UsedBy(ip)) = Session.HardwareAddress Then
....
Else
AddLog Request invalid. (DHCP_Request)
Session.AdvancedOptions.ErrorMessage = Your request for address & Session.IPAddress & has been denied.
Session.DenyRequest

WeOnlyDo!COM will be the first stop I make should I require any further off-the-shelf components.

We have recently completed a large 1200+ location project where reliable Telnet and SSH connectivity was required. wodSSH worked flawlessly and allowed our staff to complete our project ontime and within budget.
