no internet access on my DHCPS server.... again
 

Hi All,

I had some help, and my DHCP server finally had internet. And now it has no internet connection again. My DHCP client is fine. I am using the client at the moment.

And my DHCP server conf. haven't change:

ddns-update-style none;
default-lease-time 600;
max-lease-time 7200;
authoritative;

subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 192.168.1.139 192.168.1.160;
option broadcast-address 192.168.1.255;
option routers 192.168.1.1;
option domain-name-servers 8.8.8.8,4.4.4.4;
}

IP = 192.168.1.138
netmask = 255.255.255.0


Where should I try to modify?

Thank you,
Denny

The DHCP server is just one program that runs on the computer and is independent of its own network connections. All of its network settings are static and from your previous threads the original problem was due to no defined route and name server information. While we provided you with the commands to add the information I forgot tell you how to make the information persistent.

You never posted how you originally configured the "DHCP server" with a static IP address. In whatever method used you can add both the name servers and gateway information.

network-scripts file for DHCP server configuration
 

Hello,

So here are a few lines of my network-scripts:

BOOTPROTO="static"
IPADDR="192.168.1.138"
NETWORK="192.168.1.0"
NETMASK="255.255.255.0"
BROADCAST="192.168.1.255"


Thank you again for your help,
Denny

Would of been nice if you posted the entire file. Adding the following information to the network-scripts file should make the settings persistent.

network-scripts
 

Sorry.... I thought other info aren't as important. And didn't want to waste your time looking at those lines.

I will add those codes now and see what happens.

Thanks again,
Denny

another network-scripts
 

Hi,

Just noticed there is another networkscripts under /etc/sysconfig/networkscripts/ifcfg-Wired_Connections_1:

TYPE=Ethernet
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
IPADDR=192.168.1.138
DNS1=8.8.8.8
DNS2=4.4.4.4
ONBOOT=yes
PREFIX=24


After I added those codes you provided, and restarted dhcpd, the internet is still down.

Not sure if this script has anything to do with it or not.

Thanks again,
Denny

You need to restart networking or the computer itself.

You bootproto should be static. What is the name of the other ifcfg file?

DennyY, (again) please use code tags when pasting commands or contents of config files.

I recently discovered that networking will process all files beginning with ifcfg- found in the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ directory.
I believe it does that in the listing order, but I'm not sure.

Please post the result of and (as michaelk requested) the contents of each of the ifcfg-* files in that directory:
