Client List for DHCP is blank

I'm running DHCP off of a XServe and it is
dishing out the addresses and is working, but the list of
Clients is blank and Number is Client is 0.
The client pc's and mac's show that they are
getting their IP addresses from the correct dhcp server
and the dhcp logs show which addresses went to which
clients but nothing in the Clients tab on Server Admin.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Tadashi

I am having the same problem. We're running 10.4.6 on an XServe G5 as an opendirectory replica. Did you find a work around?

  • AE Issues & Wireless Clients listing in AEBS goes blank?

    Strange behaviour:
    I have a network with 1 AEBS and 2 AE acting in a WDS.
    With both AEs turned off, Airport Utility's Wireless Client listing (under Advanced/Logs & Statistics/Wireless Clients) shows a list of all the clients that the AEBS is hosting on the network. Yay!
    Issue #1:
    When I turn on one of my AEs, that list goes blank. Not a biggie, but I'm curious as to what is happenening there.
    Issue #2:
    I am not able to configure the AE! Airport utility lists it, but returns the message "An error occurred while reading the configuration"
    (I recently updated the AE firmware to 6.3...)
    What to do? I tried linking my mini to the AE with ethernet, but it didn't show up in the Airport Utility listing of base stations.
    Any searching tips or advice welcome!

    Hi joedornan,
    I have the same problem with wireless client list. since some software update came out (i don't remember which it was) my AirPort Utility (ver. 7.2.1) is not showing the Client list, and when i want to click on "Wireless Clients" i am transferred strait to "Log's List" without any option to check Wireless Clients.
    I have no idea what that such thing are happening.

  • WRT600N Doesn't show any entries in the Wireless Client List

    Hi, my WRT600N is on firmware 1.01.35 build 3. When I check the wireless client list from the Wireless MAC Filter page, it is empty, even though I know I have 3 clients connected. They are all using 802.11g, as I don't have any N devices yet. When I go to the Status page and check the DHCP Client Table, both of my wired clients are there, but only 1 wireless client appears. The DHCP Client Log file is useless, as it only appears to log the ip address it receives from my isp. There are no entries of the ip addresses it has given out. Is my WRT600N defective, or is there firmware in the works to correct this?

    Another thing I've notice, is that the DHCP client table is showing the 2.4 wireless devices as LAN interfaces. Shouldn't it show the frequency, like it does my one 5GHz device? Things have changed, because the Wii is now showing in both the Wireless Client List, as well as the DHCP Client table. It shows as a LAN interface though, which is wrong, it should be 2.4GHz. My one pc that is a 5GHz N device, is also showing in both the Wireless Client List, & the DHCP Client table. Neither the wireless 2.4 gaming adapter, or the HR20 connected to it show up in either list. Neither does a laptop which is 2.4GHz. This is really a concern, because I've caught 2 neighbors stealing my bandwidth in the past, and I can't stop them if I can't see them.

  • E4200v2 - DHCP client list NEVER displays

    As the most expensive and hyped "consumer router" at the local big-box stores, and after already returning a Netgear N600 that appeared to be defective, I had high hopes that this router would work properly and I could stop fooling with router settings and move on to real work. And I'll acknowledge that for a lot of folks this router will probably be fine. I didn't do any speed measurements or methodical testing, but it seems pretty fast and using it for more than three weeks it seemed reliable. However, it had several issues that were maddening and ultimately for me, unacceptable. Summarized as follows:
    > The DHCP client list NEVER displays all the clients connected on my network, no matter how many times I look. These clients are actively transferring data, and I can download free programs from the web that report all clients reliably. Why is this so difficult??
    > The logging feature is ridiculous - it often didn't log events that I knew had occurred, and even when they were shown, you would only see an entry if you checked the log very quickly after the event (some sort of "auto-flush" function that makes the whole feature pretty useless).
    > The previous issues are annoying - but this was the deal-breaker. I could not connect to an OpenVPN device on my network through this router. I could connect to the device locally, I could connect to other devices remotely through other forwarded ports, and I could see in the log (if I looked quickly enough) that the router was seeing the connection attempt to the OpenVPN device, but it was getting blocked. Many hours searching forums and experimenting with router settings / firmware updates did not help.
    > In the pursuit of resolving the third issue, and with very low expectations, I contacted Linksys tech support. This proved to be a complete waste of time. After working through the front-line guy who only knew how to look through the User's Guide, I was connected to another person who was even more clueless and was almost robotic in his hard-coded sequence of attempts to guide me through silly procedures that had absolutely nothing to do with my problem. After again asking if I could speak to someone that might actually understand the issue I was put on hold for more than 20 minutes, at which point the call was disconnected (I think this means they hung up on me).
    So once again I'm returning an expensive router that doesn't work properly and will be trying something else. It shouldn't be this difficult.

    With reference to your post I would like to know that does all the client devices on your network runs on DHCP or some of them have static IP address as well? The devices which are running on static IP address will not be displayed in the DHCP client table.
    Regarding the logs that are not being created on the router for any event that takes place could be because of the reason that you might be using another router or a gateway before your linksys router.
    As far as your VPN issue is concerned please try to disable the firewall of the router and then try to connect to the open VPN device because this router acts like a VPN passthrough. Click on the following link to know how to disable the router's firewall http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=87795adab27b4bd7a432e03be4e28e8d_17347.xml&pid=80&...

  • MacBook pro and iPhone 3g dont show up in router's dhcp client list.

    All of my devices except my MacBook pro and iPhone 3g showup in me dhcp client list. firewall is off on both, router as well as MacBook. what could be the reason.

    yes… they do get IPs and since Monday they are on fixed IPs for ISP requirements. All services work fine except downloading from my ISP's Direct Connec Hub. People can download from my machine though. I guess something to do with OS X not being recognized in the dhcp client list. Interestingly windows on my bootcamp does get recognized.
    If your devices are connected to your router then they should not have fixed ip addresses assigned by your ISP or by you. They should be set to get their addresses via dhcp from your router. If they have fixed ip addresses this is why they don't show up in the router's dhcp list, the router did not assign them dhcp addresses.

  • AirPort Extreme (n model) doesn't show all DHCP clients in client list.

    Hi all,
    Wondering if anybody can confirm or deny this occurrence. I noticed that when plugging DHCP clients into the ethernet ports, those hosts do not show up in the DHCP client list. They do appear to get a valid address and work fine, however. I still intend to test whether or not I can assign a static IP to the ethernet client MAC addresses, but I assume that will work fine as well.
    In my opinion, if this is confirmed it should be addressed as a bug (albeit minor). Otherwise I'm very pleased with the new Extreme, by the way. Other issues that I don't like are more a matter of convenience than necessity.
    Mike
    MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Ditto to all of the above, but I've got another, maybe related, question.
    I have my HP printer hardwired to the router. It is set for a dynamic IP address, so the question of a static IP not showing up isn't the issue.
    My problem is that I can't get the client ID to show up in the list. The MAC address is there, the IP address is there, the lease time is there. But no matter what I reset, either on the printer or on the router, I can't get the printer name to show up on the list.
    If I pull up the printer in a browser window, it shows the name. I've even tried changing the name a couple of times. Nothing.
    No, it doesn't really matter, it still works fine. But it's annoying to me.

  • Why available Lan Host not showing up in the DHCP Leased Client table for RV180

    I just purchased the RV180 and am puzzled as to why lan host with ip address of 192.168.1.102 not showing up in the DHCP leased clients list.
    I have 4 static ip addresses with the last 3 digits ending in 101, 102,103 and 200 listed in the static DHCP and available local network list, but 102 is not in the DHCP leased clients list. The other 3: 101,103 and 200 are.
    Should it not be there also?

    Thanks Marty,
    There is nothing different about 102 than the other hosts.
    I did talk to tech support at Cisco this morning and I was told that I should not use the static DHCP under Networking LAN. Instead, I should set the static IP at the device level.
    So under Static DHCP, the list is blank, but the IP address will show up under Available LAN Hosts and listed as Static as Type.
    I thought this is a bit strange since it is Static DHCP and should be under Static DHCP (?)

  • DHCP client list missing devices.

    I just bought a TC and is setup as my router. I have a pc connected to one of the ethernet ports in the TC, and it works fine. My problem is that the other peripherals connected to the other two ports on the TC are not working. One of he is a printer and the other is an X-Box console. In the DHCP client list I only see the pc listed.
    Does anyone knows why I can only see the pc and not the other two devices on the DHCP list?

    That is true, every other router I have used shows all of the DHCP clients. But reading the Apple documentation it is not clear that this is true for the AEBS. See "Designing AirPort Networks Using AirPort Utility (Mac + PC)" (direct PDF link).
    Page 57 has the following somewhat ambiguous statement "If you click “Logs and Statistics” you can view and export base station logs, and view wireless client and DHCP client information."

  • DHCP Client List on Extremes

    Can someone verify that the new square Extreme router does provide a DHCP Client List whereas the old dome Extreme does not? This seems so basic, really surprised if true.
    Tried IPScanner, appears to provide a list of devices that respond to Bonjour, helpful, but not a real list of all devices getting addresses from DHCP, didn't even show my Windows computers.

    I suggest updating to the newer AirPort Utility as it will still administer the older 802.11g base stations. You can get a copy for Tiger here: AirPort Utility 5.3.2 Tiger

  • Get DHCP clients list connected to DHCP allocator on WEC7

    Hi All,
    I Configured WEC7 Device as DHCP Allocator and is working fine. 
    I am able to see the connected DHCP clients information in Registry under ConnectionSharing/Addresses.
    But for my application development I don't want to read the registry all the time to get updates of connected clients.
    Are there any other options (API) available to read connected clients info (IP, MAC, Client Name etc).
    And if i can register to some services for client connection status change notifications would be better.
    Do you suggest any better ways to get clients info other than reading registry?
    Thanks in Advance.
    rakesh

    Thanks Bruce,
    Yes I can use your recommendation for getting clients list.
    Do you recommend any third party DHCP server apps for WEC7 as I am getting some problems with DHCP allocator.
    as mentioned here:
    1. https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/a1b7eaae-48c6-4704-ae3a-d48db5cdb7b6/wec7-dhcp-allocator-not-sending-ack-for-a-dhcp-client?forum=winembplatdev.
    2. also DHCP allocator will stops once it finds a real DHCP Server on the network as per MS documents.

  • DHCP client list empty on WRT310N

    This has happened all 3 times I reset my router to default settings.  I see the list of clients, no problem.  However, when I adjust the QoS for my desktop's MAC address, the client list empties, and from that point on, it stays empty, although 3+ clients are connected.  Removing any QoS settings won't alleviate my problem, either.  I have to reset to factory defaults again. 

    Have you tried to upgrade the firmware of your Linksys Router. If not then Go to website linksysbycisco.com/downloads.. .......insert model no of your router in serach tab......select proper version of your router........download the firmware file......save that file on desktop...
    Follow these steps to upgrade the firmware on the device : -
    Open an Internet Explorer browser page on a computer hard wired to the router...
    In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1...Leave the Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
    Click on the 'Administration' tab- Then click on the 'Firmware Upgrade' sub tab- Here click on 'Browse' and browse the .bin firmware file and click on "Upgrade"...
    Wait for few seconds until it shows that "Upgrade is successful"  After the firmware upgrade, click on "Reboot" and you will be returned back to the same page OR it will say "Page cannot be displayed".
    Now reset your router :
    Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...

  • Acces dhcp client list remote

    Dear forum
    I would like to keep an eye on my wireless network. I know this is possible from the airport util. by looking at the dhcp client list. however i would like to do this remote as well - while i'm at work or similar.
    So far the only way i can think of is to have a computer online at home with remote desktop activated - and then accessing the remote computer from work and through it look at the router.
    BUT is there any way to get access to the router direcly from my work?

    If you look at the AirPort Utility Advanced panel, Logging & Statistics tab, you'll see a setting for "Allow SNMP over WAN". SNMP is "Simple Network Management Protocol". That's supposed to enable the type of thing you want to do. Beyond that I can't help you, as I've never worked with SNMP software.

  • About my Dynamic DHCP Client List

    In my eH100 Network settings under Dynamic DHCP Client List it shows two hosts. My MAC address with no name and another MAC address with a name. Does that mean someone is using access through my router. Now it's only showing one host.

    What is a EH100? A DSL or cable modem or router with wireless capability? IF so, it is likely that somebody is "fare-jumping" wirelessly onto your network, if you have no security set up on your wireless.
    IF you currently are an open network, I would recommend a combination of configuring your wireless access point with WPA-PSK security plus MAC authentication. (I hear there is a better one than WPA, which is itself better than WEP, but neither my computers nor modem support any better than WPA). On my ActionTec DSL modem/router/WAP, this is set in Advanced Settings under wireless settings (to specify WPA) and a clearly labeled MAC authentication link for the MAC address list. For MAC authentication, manually add hardware ethernet addresses as found in each authorized computer's system preferences > network > Airport or Built-in Ethernet as Airport ID or Ethernet ID given in the form of xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx), depending on how they will be accessing your WAP/router/modem.
    FWIW, this actually would have probably been more fitting to post over in the networking forum.

  • DNS record ownership for DHCP clients

    my configuration:
    dhcp/dns/dc installed on same system - Windows 2008 R2 SP1 in domain environment.
    all zones configured to secure updates only with aging and scavenging enabled
    dhcp servers are member of DNSupdateproxy group.
    dhcp are configured with standard domain user account (this user was made a member of dnsupdateproxy as well, DOES THAT MATTER?)
    dhcp scopes are configured with default DNS setup (force DNS update by DHCP)
    now...
    all DNS records for endpoint devices on dhcp lease (windows7, mac os X, ubuntu) are owned by SYSTEM
    in security tab for some DNS records i can see service account with write permission to record ( i believe this is desired state)
    in other records service account has no permission but timestamps are still updated by computer account (hostname$ has write permission). these records have pencil icon on computers in dhcp lease table.
    Problem with this (hostname$ has write permissions) is when user connect to network via VPN (obtains dhcp lease) it get's two records registered in DNS -> 1 record for ip distributed by dhcp server and 2nd record for his home private network.
    Have anyone seen this before?
    i've tried deleting DNS records / releasing ip on endpoint device (example win7). It would not register to DNS by DHCP. However if i do ipconfig /registerdns it will do it, but dhcp service account won't have permission no this record.

    Apparently it appears that DHCP may not be configured with credentials, DHCP DNS settings are not configured to force DHCP to register ALL requests, nor has the DHCP server itself have been added to the DnsUpdateProxy group. These are all prerequisites
    for DHCP to own all records, otherwise you will see default behavior, which is:
    By default, a Windows 2000 and newer statically configured machines will
    register their A record (hostname) and PTR (reverse entry) into DNS.
    If set to DHCP, a Windows 2000 or newer machine will request DHCP to allow
    the machine itself to register its own A record, but DHCP will register its PTR
    (reverse entry) record.
    The entity that registers the record in DNS, owns the record.
    In summary:
    Configure DHCP Credentials. The credentials only need to be a plain-Jane, non-administrator, user account. Give it a really strong password.
    Set DHCP properties, DNS tab, to update everything, whether the clients can or cannot.
    Add the DHCP server(s) to the Active Directory, Built-In DnsUpdateProxy security group.
    Make sure ALL other non-DHCP servers are NOT in the DnsUpdateProxy group. For example, some believe that the DNS servers or other DCs not running DHCP should be in it. They must be removed or it won't work.
    On Windows 2008 R2 or newer, DISABLE Name Protection.
    If DHCP is co-located on a Windows 2008 R2 or Windows 2012 DC, you can and must secure the DnsUpdateProxy group by running the following:
    dnscmd /config /OpenAclOnProxyUpdates 0
    Configure Scavenging one one DNS server. Set the NOREFRESH and REFRESH values combined to be equal or greater than the DHCP Lease length. What it scavenges will replicate to others anyway.
    DHCP Service Configuration, Dynamic DNS Updates, Scavenging, Static Entries, Timestamps, DnsUpdateProxy Group, DHCP Credentials, prevent duplicate DNS records, DHCP has a "pen" icon, and more...

  • DHCP client list

    Hello,
    I recently set up my Mac Pro to act as a gateway and the setup has a AEBS acting as a bridge to all the other clients (dont want to buy a extra switch). I just wanted to check to see if the AEBS is the reason why my DHCP client list on the server only shows the AEBS and not other clients, wireless or wired. Is there a way to fix this issue without going to a switch? All connections on the AEBS is on the LAN side and the WAN side not plugged into anything.
    Thanks!

    Greg,
    Not that I know of.
    I made a cheat sheet with a list of my computers and wifi gear using the last 2 digits only.
    1. My Mac = 09
    2. Wifes Mac = D3
    3. Printer = 37
    etc., etc.....
