Hi,

I am trying to set up my RH9 machine as a DHCP server for my winxp boxes. I have created a basic dhcp.conf file (see below) and attempted to start the dhcp service with service dhcp start, but nothing happens, no error messages, nothing. Interface eth0 is set up with a static IP address 192.168.0.1.

My dhcp.conf

ddns-update-style interim;
subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 192.168.0.100 192.168.0.250;
default-lease-time 86400;
max-lease-time 86400;
option routers 192.168.0.1;
option ip-fowarding off;
option broadcast-address 192.168.0.255;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
option nntp-server 192.168.0.1;
option netbios-name-servers 192.168.0.1;
}

Any ideas anyone?

Kind Regards,
Garry.

Did you create the dhcpd.leases file? If not, run:

Yes I did create the leases file and doubled checked it was there.

Thanks,
Garry.
