Hmm, that shouldn't happen, and it would be good to find out why it is. My guess is that your network interface configuration is somehow strange. Please could you give us as much information as possible about he system? OS type, network config (on Linux, the output from "ip addr show" is a good start), dnsmasq configuration. Also, add "log-dhcp" to the dnsmasq configuration and supply the resulting log files contents. The dhcp-option won't do you any good. Setting the Server-identifier by hand is deliberately disabled to avoid Bad Things happening, which is very possible, as you found out. Cheers, Simon. > -Mike >
