Re: [Security Firewall] DHCP Help

[Doug White]

It does write to the file but this is what it puts in dhcpd.conf ddns-update-style none; subnet 0.0.0.0 netmask 255.255.224.0^M {         # default gateway         option routers 172.16.64.1^M;         option subnet-mask 255.255.224.0^M;         option broadcast-address 255.255.255.255;         #domains         option domain-name "rwu.edu";         option domain-name-servers 66.181.224.13;         #dynamic range         range 0.0.0.200 0.0.0.225;         default-lease-time 21600;         max-lease-time 43200; when I entered 172.16.64.0/19 as the network, eth2 as the interface (associated with 64 subnet) and 200-225 as the range of addresses.  If the 0's are wildcards I suppose it is correct, but it doesn't issue any addresses on that network.  Is it possible the DHCP server listens on some other port (than 67)? Florin wrote: Doug White <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: I am trying to set up DHCP with MNF on two of the interfaces eth2 and eth3. When I look at the dhcpd.conf file, it seems really odd and dhcp doesn't work. I presume it runs on udp port 67 but how do you put in the ips you want to use and specify the subnets. They always seem to be 0.0.0.0/0 in the file after it is setup. I want to set it up on two networks 172.16.64.0/19 and 172.16.96.0/19 on the two interfaces for ips 172.16.64.200-225 and 172.16.96.226-249 respectively. Any advice is appreciated. in the dhcp section you can choose the network interface: for example eth3. Then, you choose the dynamic IP range: for example 200-225. This will read the eth3 IP address/network: for example 172.16.64.0/19 and create the dhcpd.conf entries for that: the whole subnet section corresponding to that network (interface). please let me know if this does not work for you ... good luck, -- Florin http://www.mandrakesoft.com http://people.mandrakesoft.com/~florin/ ____________________________________________________ Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
