Good man, you'll go far!Thanks for your response. Yes, I'm doing this to learn!
I am making a little progress. I don't know where /etc/log.d/conf/services came from. I made a copy of dhcpd.conf and placed it in /etc/. Seems to have written some canned entry into the lease file when I run the dhcp service, but I'm not able to connect my windows box. Running windows ipconfig /renew, I get: "The DHCP Server is unreachable. I thought I had opened up the firewall, but not sure if I typed the command right.
What else might I check?
Assuming you can ping the linux box from the windows box, and that the dhcp server is actually running (ps -ef | grep dhc), do a quick sanity check on the firewall rules:
service iptables stop
then try the windows dhcp client again -
If that works, the firewall rules need to be loosened up on the inside -
