Setting up a DHCP server.
Installed from rh9 CDs (2.4.20-8)
/etc/dhcpd.conf reads:
------------------------------------
ddns-update-style none;
subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
}
(there is more but I commmented it all out to get to just the problem. The problem appears when the subnet declaration is included)
------------------------------------
ifconfig replies:
eth0 ....
inet addr:192.168.0.254 Bcast: 192.168.0.255 Mask: 255.255.255.0
So we know we are on the right subnet. The problem also appears if I set the address to 192.168.0.3 or 192.168.0.44 or whatever.
Hardwarewise:
1) The machine has one and only one NIC (I even opened the box to make sure).
2) The NIC is NOT CONNECTED to anything (no lan cable or anything).
Softwarewise:
ps -ef | grep dhcp says there are no other dhcp daemons running about.
ps -ef | grep bootp says there are no other bootp daemons running about.
To deepen the mystery:
The same install was done on my laptop and the dhcp server runs beautifully. (I actually copied the configuration files from the laptop to the server after installing rh9).
I installed the latest and greatestfrom www.isc.org which at this moment is dhcp-3.0.1rc13.ta.
Thre's a lot of posts on this problem but no solutions that I've found so far. Anyone seen/solved this one?
Thanks!
