Re: 400 as DHCP server error

[Larry Bolhuis <lbolhuis@xxxxxxxxxx>]

James,

 While it's not mandatory I would certainly upgrade your iSeries Access 
to V5R3 or even better V5R4.  It has been my experience (and many IBMers 
have also told me this) that having your client at the most current 
level is almost always the best way to go. I am running V5R4 on my 
thinkpad and still have clients all the way back to V3R2 that I connect to.

 I do not know this to be true but it could be that the format of the 
DHCP config you are writing from your V5R1 client to your V5R3 system is 
no longer correct.
