PSP error 80410209: confused DHCP server
After playing with ISC DHCP3 a bit, I’ve found that things go psycho if you have a known host declaration on one subnet, and try to assign it a lease on another subnet.
E.g., I have two networks, 10.0.0.0/8 and 192.168.0.0/24 (I split it up on purpose). There was a host declaration for “widget” (00:1a:73:04:96:03) in the 192 net, but I was putting it on the 10 net. It got the IP address in the 10 net, and the options from the 192 net. In other words, I’ve successfully confused ISC DHCPD.
Interestingly enough, this also turned out to be the cause of the 80410209 error code my PSP was throwing at me; the gateway was on a network it didn’t have a route to. Dooh! So, there you go.
