asterisk users - May 2005 - Polycom IP 600 DHCP problem

I've got a Polycom IP 600 that doesn't want to DHCP. It DHCPDISCOVERs, 
there's a DHCPOFFER, it DHCPREQUESTs and a DCHPACK is returned, but 3 
seconds later it repeats the process and never boots. The phone works fine 
with a static IP, and the DCHP setup works ok for an IP 500. I updated to 
bootrom 2.6.2 and sip firmware 1.5.2 which didn't help. Any suggestions?

James,
What kind of DHCP server are you using?   I have seen more problems with 
the DHCP server than with the phones/clients.  If you're getting the 
whole DHCP DORA exchange it might be a messed up lease value.   Try a 
different DHCP server and/or change the DHCP values one by one.

Good Luck
Scott
