All,
I'm currently testing the CMU bootpd-DD2.4.3 daemon in order to provide static 
addresses to NT clients (I have compiled the code without the DDYNAMIC flag 
since we have no intention of using dynamic addressing as we would lose 
auditing functionality.) while maintaining current BootP functionality for all 
BootP clients.

I have come across a problem with the NT 3.51 clients in that issuing a 
"ipconfig/release" command on the client sometimes causes the server daemon to 
crash with a BUS ERROR.  Putting a Sniffer on the network has revealed that the 
client sometimes releases the IP address without sending any packets out onto 
the network - occasionally however, the client sends a DHCP packet out before 
releasing the address and it is this packet that seems to cause the server 
daemon to crash.

Has anyone else experienced this problem, and if so, do you have a solution/fix?

regards,
