Hi, Please bear with my non-understanding Trying to get dhcp to work in fc6, I would need a client right? In fc3, lookup worked out of the box; but in my fc6 install I didn't have the rpm installed. Now that I do, I need a dhcpd.conf If I don't to do a dhcp as specified in the /usr/sbin/system-config- services gui, please let me know. If I do need one, can I just ask a few questions. # Sample dhcpd.conf # option definitions common to all supported networks... #option domain-name "linuxhelp.ca"; ??I don't have a domain on this box so no need I think # Your name servers. You can normally find these in # your /etc/resolv.conf file. These will be distributed to all DHCP # clients. option domain-name-servers 10.1.1.1, 65.39.196.215, 65.39.192.130; ?? what is 10.1.1.1???? I have two entries 210.230.70.2 210.230.70.3 plus a name "rosenet.ne.jp" ??does rosenet.ne.jp translate into a number somehow using a command like host or um forgot the other reverse lookup default-lease-time 600; max-lease-time 7200; ??sure fine, copy and paste - values ok? # If this DHCP server is the official DHCP server for the local # network, the authoritative directive should be uncommented. authoritative; ??for the local network of one box yes. no? # Configuration for an internal subnet. subnet 10.1.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 { range 10.1.1.2 10.1.1.25; option domain-name-servers 10.1.1.1, 65.39.196.215, 65.39.192.130; option domain-name "linuxhelp.ca"; option routers 10.1.1.1; option broadcast-address 10.1.1.255; default-lease-time 600; max-lease-time 7200; } ?? um internal subnet. again this is just one box. Do I need to configure this. Can I get the info from my fc3 box running dhcp fine somehow? My fc3 dchp.conf file is in a totally different place and seems vastly different: ########################################################################### # $Id: dhcpd.conf,v 1.2 2002/10/12 02:08:09 kirk Exp $ ########################################################################### # You can put comments anywhere you want to.
