[dba-Tech] Apple Mac server and DHCP

Hi all

We are in the need of high-level Mac assistance to sort out why the DHCP server running on the newest Mac Server provides IP addresses for Mac workstations and - after some tweaking - for Windows workstations as well, but not for other units requesting an IP address. 

The units in question are Trapeze wireless access points which we have delivered. The setup worked perfectly with the old Mac Server, but since a new server recently was installed the setup has failed. The units (four in total) each requests an address but never gets one. When tested on another DHCP server, the units get addresses as expected.

We have not delivered the Mac Server but - as expected - the MacBuffs who did have no idea of what is going on, neither demonstrate any attempt to get it solved.

Also, neither Trapeze Networks nor the local distributor have a clue - Mac Servers are rare in the business world.

So does anyone know somebody?
