    Hi,

    10.0.0.10 is my dhcp server and 10.0.0.24 is the dynamic ip offered by the
    dhcp server.

    Below is the DHCP debug output
    ====================
    DHCPDISCOVER from 00:07:e9:2f:45:55 via rl0
    DHCPOFFER on 10.0.0.24 to 00:07:e9:2f:45:55 via rl0
    DHCPREQUEST for 10.0.0.24 (10.0.0.10) from 00:07:e9:2f:45:55 via rl0
    DHCPACK on 10.0.0.24 to 00:07:e9:2f:45:55 via rl0
    DHCPDISCOVER from 00:07:e9:2f:45:55 via rl0
    DHCPOFFER on 10.0.0.24 to 00:07:e9:2f:45:55 via rl0
    DHCPREQUEST for 192.168.102.110 (192.168.102.1) from 00:07:e9:2f:45:55 via
    rl0: ignored (not authoritative).

    The first 4 lines are the communication between the rom pxe and the dhcp
    server. The last 3 lines are the communication between the downloaded
    pxeboot and the dhcp server. The downloaded pxeboot does not seem to retain
    the ip address offered by DHCP. Any don't know where it got 192.168.102.110
    (192.168.102.1) from.

    Has anyone faced this problem before.

    Regards
    Sunil Sunder Raj
