1841 DHCP Service not working

shouldn't  network 10.0.208.0 255.255.254.0 be

 network 10.0.208.0 255.255.255.0

I'd have thought the DHCP server would be deaf with 254

(linux is not my field)

A broadcast sent to a subnet in the form 10.1.1.255 is a subnet broadcast if the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.

from here:

http://www.comptechdoc.org/independent/networking/guide/netbroadcasting.html

Na - I'm running /23 subnets.

the 10.0.208.0/23 subnet encompasses both 10.0.208.0 through 10.0.209.255

10.0.209.255 is the broadcast address for that network.

Thanks for all the help so far guys.  I really appreciate it.


Here's a copy (pasted in the code block below) of the current scrubbed running config with the "all" modifier.  Unfortunately, I'm still not seeing "service DHCP"

:-------------------

Lemme' answer everybody in order here:

Hodepine: - Yeah, I put the "service dchp" command into the router, but I'm not seeing it in my running config.  I believe this is the problem all together, but I'm not sure.

lanboyo: - I do infact have an excluded range.   10.0.208.1 - 10.0.208.50

     Here's the whole dchp status output from the 1841 currently:

***The .9 and .10 are machines that I've set statically, to configure the router***




I'm about ready to drop kick the router.  :0

Thanks for all the suggestions so far, please keep them coming.

Ok on the debugs.   Thanks for the suggestion guys.  I'll run through it here in a sec.

For the question about config on the switch...  the 1841 is only connected to a l2 unmanaged...  I'll keep truckin' through this...

Thanks everyone for the assistance here.

After debugging and not seeing anything that I was wanting to, I was about 10 seconds from just completely dropping the router out the window - it started working after another restart.

It's working exactly like it's supposed to be.

I have a feeling that it's related to my other issue I recently posted on EE regarding a tunnel interface.  On the DHCP scope in question, I have it giving the clients a DNS server that's on the other side of the tunnel.  As the tunnel wasn't up, I think this is what was making the 1841 not send the DHCP info.

Interesting in any case.

Thanks for the help guys.
