Question Serving DNS IP to Macintosh clients via DHCPD


Anytime I set up a Linux DHCP server on a network the Macintosh clients can't pick up the DNS server address! Windows and linux clients don't seem to have a problem. In the past I just set their DNS manually, but now I need this to work for an open wireless network, manual config is not an option.

here is my dhcpd.conf


# dhcpd.conf
#
# Configuration file for ISC dhcpd (see 'man dhcpd.conf')
#
ddns-update-style ad-hoc;

subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.240 {
range 192.168.1.2 192.168.1.14;
}
option routers 192.168.1.1;
option domain-name-servers 64.8.192.9;


I would appreciate any help, as you know Mac people just expect thing to work!

This is a MAC OS thing

-OS X shouldn't have a problem getting the DNS servers
-9.2.1 should be fine but earlier version are alittle more picky and most likely you'll need to manually specify them in the TCP/IP control pannel.
