Further testing has shown that the DHCP server appears to give out an
initial address but will ignore further requests for IPs. Its almost as
if it will work once after a reboot and then won't give out any further
addresses.
Below is a copy of the /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf from the machine in
question.
option domain-name-servers 203.96.152.4 , 203.96.152.12;
option routers 192.168.1.1;
ddns-update-style none;
ddns-updates off;
subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 192.168.1.50 192.168.1.200;
}
host Gir {
option domain-name-servers 203.96.152.4 , 203.96.152.12;
option routers 192.168.1.1;
hardware ethernet 00:05:1C:0C:1B:95;
fixed-address 192.168.1.100;
}
Perhaps this can shed light on the problem?
