network settings "your system is not supported" at system settings
 
1 Attachment(s)
I have a problem - network settings "your system is not supported" at system settings.

My box is scientific linux 6.1 x64.

I could not start dhcpd.

Quote:
[root@RedLeoWebDev Documents]# service dhcpd start
Starting dhcpd: [FAILED]
So I opened system settins - network settings, but there is another problem as you can see attatched photo.

How to solve this problem?

Thanks in advance.

I am unfamiliar with Scientific linux, or the settings dialog you are using.

The dialog appears to be for configuring a network interface.
"dhcpd" is for running a DHCP server. Is this what you are trying to do?

Perhaps you want "dhclient" instead?

fukawi1/ I want to start dhcpd.

fukawi1 11-23-2011 11:46 PM
Code:
tail /var/log/messages | grep dhcpd
should give some more info as to why dhcpd isn't starting.

Instead of using the init scripts, try starting it from the command line with
Code:
dhcpd -f

Well there in lies your problem...

Your dhcpd.conf isn't set up correctly.

windstory 11-24-2011 12:21 AM
This is dhcpd.conf.

Quote:

}
}
Please let me know what's wrong.

fukawi1 11-24-2011 12:31 AM
How can I tell you what is wrong, when you havent told me what you are trying to do? (other than start dhcpd, which really tells me nothing).

From your config, it would seem you are trying to use dyndns, something I have no experience with. Read "man dhcpd" for info on dynamic dns.

to configure the interfaces dhcpd will listen on, you need to look in /etc/sysconfig

windstory 11-24-2011 01:10 AM
fukawi1/ Thanks for your help.

I'll study man page.

tollingalong 11-24-2011 12:57 PM
There is an extra "{" in the file I believe to being with.

chrism01 11-24-2011 08:03 PM
Looks like he's right about mismatched '{'.
Next time please post using code tags instead of quote tags; that will preserve whitespace and make things line up.

windstory 11-29-2011 01:14 AM
Thanks a lot.
