I am able to connect to one of them without issue. The other just keeps doing a soft reset (for lack of a better word). I have compared the configuration of both servers and they are identical except for the IP range and the dhcp-options being pushed.</p>
<p dir="auto">The server  configuration file, the client configuration file and the output from the client log are below. Does any one see anything mis-configured or that would cause this.</p>
