We use FreeBSD with BOOTP-DD2.4.3 to serve as DHCP server for our PCs
that runing WFW and Win95. We only installed it less then a week. All
the Win95 PC seem running well, but some of WFW PCs give us error 
messages from time to time. They complain that they can't lease an IP
from DHCP server, while the server is always running. I noticed that most
of time it happened when user run DOS shell but it also happens when
user runing memory intensive applications. I doubt this might be caused
by not enough CPU time allocated to background process.

Any one has similar experience?

Thanks,
Tsuwei
