Hi,
I think it is a simple question, but I just can't figure out what wrong with
it.
Here in this scenario
r3(e0/0 dhcp)-(e0/0 192.168.234.2)r2(s0/0)192.168.12.0/24(s0/0)r1
based on the following configuration, why can't r3's interface be assigned
an IP address with DHCP
R1#show running-config
ip dhcp excluded-address 192.168.234.2

ip dhcp pool 234
   network 192.168.234.0 255.255.255.0
   default-router 192.168.234.2
   domain-name cisco.com
interface Serial0/0
 ip address 192.168.12.1 255.255.255.0
 no fair-queue

R2#show running-config
interface Ethernet0/0
 ip address 192.168.234.2 255.255.255.0
 ip helper-address 192.168.12.2
 half-duplex
!
interface Serial0/0
 ip address 192.168.12.2 255.255.255.0
 clock rate 64000
 no fair-queue
R3#show running-config
interface Ethernet0/0
 ip address dhcp
 half-duplex
end

Many thanks!
