Yes, same problem.
After 2 days i've reached my goal, and it works in my school.
I've tried the same at home, but without success. The DHCP server
doesnt want to do a correct reply to DHCP-request from W95.
I cant figure out, what it is.
After disabling DHCP, i started bootpd, which sends correct
replies. But W95 ignores the incoming messages from bootpd.
Today i'll get my car and drive into this school. I hope to find there the
bug in the evening and kill it tonight at home.
Lars.
PS: You must DISABLE DNS in W95-networksetup, if you want to use DHCP !!!
strange, but true.
