Hi,
A while ago I set up a NetBSD gateway to connect my home-network to the
internet via a cable-modem. I need to distribute ip-adresses through DHCP,
because there are 2 laptops that occasionally get hooked up. The two laptops
run Win95, there's one Win95 PC and one Win2k PC. When I was running NetBSD
1.4.2, everything worked beautifully, but now that I have upgraded to 1.5
(fresh
install BTW), it doesn't anymore. Here's the deal:

The server gets it's ip, etc. from my ISP through DHCP (dhclient binded to
the "external" nic de0). It seems like it doesn't receive the domain
"a2000.nl" (my ISP), so I put that in /etc/defaultdomain. It's internal ip
(on ne0) is 192.168.0.1 (specified in ifconfig.ne0). The two PC's in my
network (named "kees" and "clara", because windows want me to give them a
name) now get ip's from my server (192.168.0.2 & 3), but the laptops don't.
Not unless I use "winipcfg" to manually renew them. When I did that the
first one got 192.168.0.7, which seems strange since 192.168.0.4 is
available. Why do I get "(not authoritative)" errors when a laptop boots up?

Does anybody see what I'm doing/goes wrong? How do I stop dhcpd from trying
to resolve the non-existing hostnames kees.a2000.nl and clara.a2000.nl? (=
workgroup-name.isp-domain)

Lots of thanks. dhcpd.conf and a piece of /var/log/messages below.
