IPSEC DHCP is not working

[#1]

This was working. Now when we connect to the via IPSec there is no IP Address handed out. It shows in the log that the DHCPDISCOVER is received and the server is sending the information. But this is repeated until the discovering process timesout. The firewall is a 300A running Fortigate-300A 3.00-b0660(MR6) and we are using Forticlient 3.0.534. When I run Diag sys top i don' t see the dhcp service running. Thanks Eric

Actually, I believe the problem was that the dhcp process failed for some reason. After rebooting it worked. We reverted to the previous configuration and it also worked. Strange issue, perhaps a bug, but we do not know how to check a log for processes themselves. Any ideas?

I am having DHCP-over-IPSEC issue too. It was working and suddenly it doesn' t anymore. I have tried using different laptops, all cannot get ip address. The funny thing is, it was working very well for months. After a few reboot still cannot soft. I will ry to power it down totally and power up again once I get to office.

If you are using Vista and recently upgraded to SP1, DHCP over IPSEC will stop working. You have to wait for next patch release.
