dhcpd...

i have my dhcp server up and running but with one snag... it won't start on boot.

i have 2 ethernet cards in my box and it's trying to start dhcp on all interfaces, i just want it to start on eth1, not eth1 and eth0. if i go in and type "dhcpd eth1" it starts up fine, but i would like to avoid having to do this every time i boot up my box (just so ya know my roomates are good at killing the power when i'm not there so i don't want them bitching at me when the power goes out and i'm not there to fix the internet :P)

Hi,

the easiest way ist to set a static ip for eth0

can't.... eth0 is my ISP, cable connection, i'm not paying the whateverdollars a month for the static for something trivial like this.

Hi,

then you have to leave it untouched.
Are there any error messages?
I use a DSL-modem and have no error messages.

If you set both nics to dhcp then the system will dhcp for both.

Do you have a dhcp-server?

eth0 ... getting a public ip address from my ISP

eth1 ... set statically and acting as my router/gateway/dhcp server
