Re: [cobalt-users] Qube2 - DHCP Failures

[THEJRC <thejrc@xxxxxxxxx>]

Actually

yep, but a little different in my book.  I noticed out of 20 machines
and 35 available IP's, the Qube would decide to give all my win boxes
the same IP, doh.  At first all I would do :::I'd only have to do this
for a new machine on the network as once its lease was active it would
tend to hold that ip::: was release and renew, thus giving me a new IP.  

After a while this stopped working, when I went to renew it would give
me a DNS server not found error.  Havent really fixed this, but the
easiest "quick fix" I've found so far was to reboot the Qube.

be interested in a good lead on the solution as well
