Post subject: FirstSpot DHCP Service crashing.

The PatronSoft Firstspot DHCP serice is crashing on my FirstSpot PC. The only info im getting is in the Windows Event Viewer. Event ID 7031 "The PatronSoft FirstSpot DHCP Server Service" terminated unexpectedlly.

Does anyone have any ideas what could make the service crash? Or any logfiles that Firstspot may keep, that could shed some light on this?

-some specs on our Firstspot PC-
First Spot Version 4.0.0 Standard
Windows 2000 Pro SP4
(2) 3c905c TX 3Com nics
256MB memory
P3 1ghz

Can you post your trace.txt file under FirstSpot\dhcp directory?

It's a rather large file. It's several hundred entries just from the couple hours preceding the crash. I'll post the last couple lines, if you need more i can arrange to email it or something. The last line here is the last line before the crash.

We're getting the same at the moment on XP

Its been fine and then at the weekend the service crashed 5 times (we've set the service to auto-restart upon failure) to stop having downtime.

Any pattern on your crash? E.g. IP about to run out.

Since i have'nt been onsite when it's crashed yet, it's hard to find a pattern. Last crash was a Saturday at 8pm.

My guess (and it's only a guess) is it's crashing during peak usage.

Since i've set the DHCP service to automatically restart i can see how much it's crashing. It's defininatly crashing during heavy use. It crashed 15 times last night during heaviest usage. Each time it managed to restart itself.

I have a couple more questions,

Is it possible it's our subnet that is causing an issue? We have a 255.255.254.0 subnet (we needed more then 253 IP address) So our DHCP server gives IP addresses in the 172.30.100.x and 172.30.101.x IP ranges.

Besides pouring over log files, and manually counting the entries, is there any way to view the pool of used or unused IP addresses??

Also here is a section of log that preceded a crash at 22:18:18 Notice the same IP Address being repeat over and over. Is that signifigant and any way?
