It looks to me like the conversion from pb16 to pb17 is what breaks the
dhcp.  I booted up with a fresh floppy disk and reconfigured from
scratch and dhcp is up now.  I am using the CD-ROM version BTW.  Well I
haven't configured everything like I had the other floppy exactly so I
can't be sure that messing with another setting doesn't break it but
when I started from scratch I was able have dhcp working again.

Interesting. I have no problems with the DHCP server at all. Could you
(and all others who are reporting problems with the DHCP server) post
their cgi-bin/status.cgi output (don't forget to remove the passwords)?

BTW, it's perfectly normal that pb16 won't work anymore after the
configuration has been converted to v1.2 by pb17. As outlined on the web
page, the DHCP configuration section has changed (while everything used
to
be in the <dhcpd>...</dhcpd> tag, this is now moved to
<dhcpd><lan>...</lan></dhcpd> to make a clean structure for the optional
interface DHCP configuration. I expect everybody with a valuable
configuration to backup before doing any firmware upgrades anyway. And
finally, don't forget why m0n0wall versions are still called pb... for
public beta - because I don't get to test every new release in every
possible setup. pb17r515 worked fine for me (as of now; tested with DHCP
enabled on one and two interfaces)...

Greets,

Manuel
