I've got a Windows 95/Plus client which is booting via DHCP. If I move the machine to another subnet, it requests (via DHCPREQUEST) the IP address it had before. The daemon refuses (DHCPNAK), since the request is coming from a different subnet. The client REQUESTs again immediately, and again the server NAKs. And that's it. The Win95 client doesn't then request a new address on its new subnet or anything. So I tried to make the Win95 machine forget about its old address. I can't seem to do that. I delete the TCP/IP protocol and add it again, I search the whole disk for files containing the old subnet string, nothing. I can't figure out how to make it forget the old IP address so it won't just request it again. Questions: (1) How can I make the 95 machine automagically request a new address on the new subnet? (2) How can I make the 95 machine forget its old IP address? Question (1) is vital for laptops that might be carried from subnet to subnet. Question (2), if easy, would work for desktop machines that switch subnets. Thanks for any help you can provide. -- Mark Sirota, Network Systems Engineer University of Pennsylvania, Information Systems and Computing msirota@isc.upenn.edu, 215/573-7214
