Hi Dale, running two or more dhcp servers that are not in sync on a network is asking for trouble. Traceroute wont help with dhcp as its broadcast/unicast. I am not sure if you have posted the full setup yet, but it appears you have two devices running on the same class C network and are trying to route? - doesnt make sense unless you are subnetting? Perhaps it time to post an annotated ascii diagram of what you are actually doing. BillK
