DHCP problem and eth1 problem
 
2 Attachment(s)
At work I am trying to get this one Linux machine (let's call it ctesgm07) to behave like another Linux machine that we have (let's call it test007).

test007 returns the following version info:
cat /etc/debian_version: lenny/sid
uname -a: Linux test007 2.6.27-7-generic #1 SMP Tue Nov 4 19:33:20 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux

ctesgm07 returns the following version info:
cat /etc/debian_version: 4.0
uname -a: Linux ctesgm07 2.6.21-1-686 #1 SMP Sat May 19 01:13:28 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux

The test007 machine currently acts as a server for a device that has an ethernet cable attached to it, and that ethernet cable goes into an ethernet-to-USB adapter, which is plugged into one of the USB ports of test007. The device has successfully requested an IP address (192.168.1.100) from test007.

Now I want to set up the ctesgm07 machine to act as a server for the same type of device. But the DHCP server on ctesgm07 is failing to start:
Code:
ctesgm07:/etc/dhcp3# /etc/init.d/dhcp3-server start
Starting DHCP server: dhcpd3 failed to start - check syslog for diagnostics.
Here is what got written to /var/log/syslog:
Code:
Oct 22 21:06:12 ctesgm07 dhcpd: Wrote 0 leases to leases file.
Oct 22 21:06:12 ctesgm07 dhcpd:
Oct 22 21:06:12 ctesgm07 dhcpd: No subnet declaration for eth0 (10.0.0.242).
Oct 22 21:06:12 ctesgm07 dhcpd: ** Ignoring requests on eth0.  If this is not what
Oct 22 21:06:12 ctesgm07 dhcpd:    you want, please write a subnet declaration
Oct 22 21:06:12 ctesgm07 dhcpd:    in your dhcpd.conf file for the network segment
Oct 22 21:06:12 ctesgm07 dhcpd:    to which interface eth0 is attached. **
Oct 22 21:06:12 ctesgm07 dhcpd:
Oct 22 21:06:12 ctesgm07 dhcpd:
Oct 22 21:06:12 ctesgm07 dhcpd: Not configured to listen on any interfaces!
I have attached the /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf from ctesgm07. I could have sworn the DHCP server was working when we used this machine several months ago for something else, but I could be mistaken. I also tried the dhcpd.conf from the test007 machine, but then it failed on ctesgm07 and output the same error to /var/log/syslog. That one is attached too.

Another thing I am wondering about is that the test007 machine shows the following when I run ifconfig:
Code:

eth0 would be for its connection to the corporate network, and eth1 would be its USB-to-ethernet connection to the child device attached to it. But when I run ifconfig on ctesgm07, I get:
Code:
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:15:C5:D0:B4:EF
          inet addr:10.0.0.242  Bcast:10.0.3.255  Mask:255.255.252.0

It has eth0, but there is no eth1, even though I do have a child device attached to it via an ethernet-to-USB adapter. How do I get eth1 to show up?

Thanks for any help you can provide me.

I am by no means an authority on ethernet or usb, but I'd venture to guess that you need a usb rule to tell the usb system what to do with an ethernet device plugged into a usb port.

I've never heard of a "USB rule" and am not sure how to go about doing that.

You need both a driver and a configuration that allows the USB NIC to be used as intended. I would be more specific, but in order for me to do that, you would have to be more specific. Apart from saying "an ethernet-to-USB adapter", you haven't provided any useful information.

I don`t now, where can I edit macaddres in Calculate?
