Hi
I've got myself in a bit of a bind. I was setting up a dhcp server and
initially just let the server assign an ip to my win98 machine. Once I got
the hardware address, I put in a hosts section and tried to give it a
different fixed address.
I tried using winipcfg to release/renew the lease, but it got awfully
confuesd.
Now the win98 box says that the ip 192.168.1.7 is already in use by some
other machine.
Of course I tried stopping the dhcp server, clearing the dhcpd.leases file
and restarting it too.
I'd love to be able to reset the win98 box's lease (any dhcp info for that
matter) and start again. I tried changing the setup back to a fixed IP,
rebooted, and then switched back to dhcp, but no luck.
This is what the server logs (constantly every minute)
Jan 13 11:25:02 penguin dhcpd: DHCPDISCOVER from 00:a0:cc:32:40:f2 via
eth1
Jan 13 11:25:02 penguin dhcpd: DHCPOFFER on 192.168.1.7 to
00:a0:cc:32:40:f2 via eth1
Jan 13 11:25:02 penguin dhcpd: DHCPREQUEST for 192.168.1.7 from
00:a0:cc:32:40:f2 via eth1
Jan 13 11:25:02 penguin dhcpd: DHCPACK on 192.168.1.7 to 00:a0:cc:32:40:f2
via eth1
Jan 13 11:25:02 penguin dhcpd: DHCPDECLINE on 192.168.1.7 from
00:a0:cc:32:40:f2 via eth1
And this is my dhcpd.conf
subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
# --- default gateway
option routers 192.168.1.101;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
option broadcast-address 192.168.1.255;
option domain-name "juliagalpin.com";
option domain-name-servers 192.168.1.101;
option time-offset -5; # Eastern Standard Time
range 192.168.1.200 192.168.1.250;
default-lease-time 259200;
max-lease-time 25920000;
# we want these to appear at a fixed addresses
host tigger {
hardware ethernet 00:a0:cc:32:40:f2;
fixed-address 192.168.1.7;
}
}
thanks
