FC4 as DHCP server

ziggy1621 · 12-28-2005, 08:49 AM

hello all. I thought I did this right, but obviously not. My windows box is not picking up an IP address from the FC4 box. Below is my dhcpd.conf file.. and yes the service is started

PHP Code:



ddns-update-style interim; 
ignore client-updates; 
authoritatve; 
subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 { 
 
# --- default gateway 
    option routers            192.168.1.254; 
    option subnet-mask        255.255.255.0; 
 
#    option nis-domain        "domain.org"; 
#    option domain-name        "domain.org"; 
    option domain-name-servers    192.168.1.254; 
    option broadcast-address    192.168.1.255; 
    option time-offset        -18000;    # Eastern Standard Time 
#    option ntp-servers        192.168.1.1; 
#    option netbios-name-servers    192.168.1.1; 
# --- Selects point-to-point node (default is hybrid). Don't change this unless 
# -- you understand Netbios very well 
#    option netbios-node-type 2; 
 
    range 192.168.1.150 192.168.1.200; 
    default-lease-time 21600; 
    max-lease-time 43200; 
 
    # we want the nameserver to appear at a fixed address 
    host ns { 
        next-server marvin.redhat.com; 
        hardware ethernet 12:34:56:78:AB:CD; 
        fixed-address 207.175.42.254; 
    } 
}

thanks in advance.

Here is all I have in mine;

Code:

authoritative;
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 259200;
    max-lease-time 518400;
    option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
    option broadcast-address 192.168.0.255;
    option routers 192.168.0.1;
    option domain-name-servers 192.168.0.1;
}

I don't have this;

Code:

 # we want the nameserver to appear at a fixed address
    host ns {
        next-server marvin.redhat.com;
        hardware ethernet 12:34:56:78:AB:CD;
        fixed-address 207.175.42.254;
    }

I would try it without

Thanks man, I got it working... I think the problem was I was trying to "Repair" the connection to get the windoze box to get an IP, but in fact I had to go ahead and "Disable" then "Enable" it for it to actually grab. **shrug** It works!

thx
