That didn't work either. What I found out is if I down the interface, bring up dhcpd, then bring the interface back up everything works. This sounds like a lot of trouble just to make changes to the dhcp config. Any ideas?? Thanks Mike Patchen IT Technician City Of Chaska 952-448-2851 x293 mpatchen*at*chaska.net >>> "Thomas T.
