That entry in the config file reads host 8.belt.lp.mia { hardware ethernet 00:80:a3:14:53:4b; fixed-address 8.belt.lp.mia; } in full. If I replaced the fixed-address part with "x8.belt.lp.mia" (a CNAME I created as a workaround) everything is okay. -- System Information Debian Release: 2.2 Kernel Version: Linux roo 2.0.38-comb.1 #1 Fri Dec 17 12:50:33 EST 1999 i686 unknown Versions of the packages dhcp depends on: ii libc6 2.1.3-13 GNU C Library: Shared libraries and Timezone -- Roderick Schertler roderick@argon.org
