Client response with wrong IP
-
Hi,
i've a security webcam and i can't connect to my wireless lan because of wrong dhcprequest:
Nov 8 13:49:31 dhcpd 89509 DHCPNAK on 1.1.1.95 to MAC via 192.168.50.253
Nov 8 13:49:31 dhcpd 89509 DHCPREQUEST for 1.1.1.95 (192.168.50.1) from MAC via 192.168.50.253: wrong network.
Nov 8 13:49:31 dhcpd 89509 DHCPOFFER on 192.168.50.95 to MAC via 192.168.50.253
Nov 8 13:49:31 dhcpd 89509 DHCPDISCOVER from MAC via 192.168.50.253So i have tested another dhcp server (not pfsense) and all is fine!
Do you have any ideas, how to fix this issue?BR

@campmonkey Why fix? As far as the little snippet you provided the cam wants a public IP 1.1.1.95 that is denied as the DHCP server can't hand out IPs that are not configured on its subnet or it isn't configured for.
So either you've got a wrongly configured DHCP server on that subnet where the cam resides or the cam stubbornly won't accept the IP the DHCP server provides. As you write "another server works" - so how did you configure the other server, what are its logs and why don't you configure the pfSense DHCP that way? :)Cheers

@jegr the other "DHCP server" is an Android tablet with WiFi sharing.
And so it works without further ado.
I suspect that the client does not understand something. Of course, a DCHP server in the IP range 1.1.1.x does not exist.I'm just wondering why the "dumb" DHCP server works on the Android tablet and the pfsense DHCP server doesn't.
