I'm having trouble getting the server to assign a static IP Address. I can sniff and verify that the MAC address is correct but the server never gives it the address I assigned. I've tried several different ways to do this but I'm not having any luck.
If I set the DHCP range to just one address (i.e 192.168.1.100-192.168.1.100) then it says there are no leases available. However if I comment out the static IP assignment it will give out .100 to a client. So it seems like it knows that there is a MAC address that is reserving .100 but it won't actually give out the IP to that MAC address.
I could not reproduce this. Only few possibilities a) Wrong Mac Address b) Some other DHCP allotting the address c) You are not using latest Built 5.212, where I tested for this issue d) Your DHCP request not reaching to Server due to routers. Please send me your log files, sniffer dumps and state file (DualServer.state), Windows/Linux. Also Pl check if this is 32bit machine. I appreciate your debugging efforts.
Thanks for Posting.

I'll work on getting you the things you wanted to see but I wanted to ask about one this in the .ini file.
In the section where is shows reserving a MAC address the MAC addresses specified in the []'s do not match the MAC address that is shown in the comment under that section.
Here are two examples from the stock .ini file. Neither MAC matches the one in []'s. So I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong. My MAC matches.
[00:41:42:41:42:00]
#This is a client with MAC addr 00:41:42:41:42:41
[00:41:42:41:42:05]
#This is a client with MAC addr 00:41:42:41:42:41
Thanks for the help. I'll try and get the information you need to help me resolve this. I can see the requests in my wireshark capture with the MAC address but I didn't save it. I also had an issue when I uncommented the log option nothing appeared in the log. Again, I'll try this again and post what I find.

Please ignore the comments, these are wrong, the Mac Addresses are in [], followed by DHCP options for that Mac Address. You need to restart the service after changing log level.

Can anyone help me out on this? I'm stumped.
[DHCP-RANGE]

Please ignore the comments, these are wrong, the Mac Addresses are in [], followed by DHCP options for that Mac Address. You need to restart the service after changing log level.
Your ini file has:-
[00:19:e0:0d:d0:09]
#This is a client with MAC addr 00:19:E0:0D:D0:09
IP_Addr=192.168.1.100 <http://192.168.1.100>
while your actual Mac Address of host is:
00:19:e0:0d:d0:d9
They are not same. Let me know if you have any other issue.
Thanks for trying DualServer
