Netvanta 3200 is preventing clients on remote network from updating from my new DHCP server
I've disabled my old DHCP server and setup a new one. All my clients on my local network are now requesting leases from my new server no problem. However I have a T1 from here to my house with a Netvanta 3200 on each side connecting the two networks (same subnet and everythign). I didn't configure these at all and I know very little about them but I have a feeling they are causing the problem with the clients on my remote network from updating DHCP.
When I try a IPCONFIG /RENEW command on a client on the remote network I get the error An error occurred while renewing interface Local Area Connection : unable to contact your DHCP server. Request has timed out.
When I do IPCONFIG /ALL it still shows my old DHCP server. These are the only clients that do so.
These netvantas are not DHCP servers, all they really do is pass traffic between the networks. I have about 4 days left on the DHCP leases for these clients before they quit working unless I can figure out why the Netvantas are allegedly blocking the DHCP update.
Here is the config for the HOST netvanta (one on my host network):
Here is my config for the remote netvanta on the remote network:
Anyone see whats going on? Again these netvantas only provide a connection. No DHCP is done by them, it should be handled by my physical DHCP server

"ip helper" relays udp packets to the server specified.
ASKER
Where would I configure this? On DHCP server? DNS?
On the netvanta -- to tell the netvanta where to forward udp packets for dhcp relaying.
ASKER
Ok thanks! I'm looking for a command reference now for ip helper. Would I need to do this on both netvantas?
ASKER
Also, which interface on which netvanta should i put the ip helper on? eth0? t1 1 or ppp 1?
Thank you!!
Thank you!!
I would for consistency.
ASKER
which interface would the ip helper comand go on? I have eth0, t1-1 and ppp-1?
You put it on the interface to which the packets first arrive. (eth0)
ASKER
got it. Thank you! Trying now
ASKER
Thank you!
ASKER
That did it perfectly! Thank you for your help!
ASKER
No I have not cleared arp cache (is that in my firewall?). I'm not sure about "ip helper" either. I'll try and find out.
