[Nagiosplug-help] check_dhcp across subnets

[Ian Rarity]

I'd suspect your router, in that case.  Perhaps it's been explicitly
configured not to forward DHCP packets as well as broadcasts?  You could
always use Wireshark or something similar to see if the requests are
actually making it as far as the DHCP server.

That's actually what I tried using the -u but it's not working. My dhcp

servers are windows 2003 servers by the way with no firewalls.
