I see a lot of people asking why they get No Answer from the DHCP test. I was wondering if the reason why is that Host Monitor is running on a system with a static IP? I have that situation, and I am getting the same response. All our servers use static IPs. Only desktops and laptop systems use DHCP.

DHCP With Host Monitor on Static IP?
HostMonitor sets "Host is alive" status when DHCP server properly responds within specified timeout, whatever it replies with NAK or ACK packet.
No answer means no answer.
I think DHCP server should respond regardless of client system settings (actually it does not know "static" client system settings).
Why it does not answer? Could you check server settings, server log, check network traffic?
What IP do you use for request? Is this IP within dynamic IP range? Timeout?
