Dear all! I'm trying to set up dhcp-server for my home network. This home server has 3 nicks. It's connected to the Internet via eth0 and shares its connection to the LAN hosts on eth1 and eth2 interfaces using IP-forwarding (masquerade). Currently clients have to enter IP manually. I would like it to be set automatically via dhcp. I installed dhcp and modified dhcpd.conf as follows: $ sudo cat /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf # dhcpd.conf ddns-update-style interim; ignore client-updates; # If this DHCP server is the official DHCP server for the local # network, the authoritative directive should be uncommented. authoritative; log-facility local7; subnet 192.168.2.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 { range 192.168.2.30 192.168.2.50; default-lease-time 86400; max-lease-time 86400; option routers 192.168.2.20; option broadcast-address 192.168.2.255; option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0; option domain-name-servers 192.168.0.1; } host ubuntu-virtual { hardware ethernet 08:00:27:84:b7:23; fixed-address 192.168.2.50; } Now I'm testing it on ubuntu virtual machine with no success. When ubuntu tries to connect to the Internet I see this messages in/var/log/messages on the server: Oct 4 13:22:50 kello dhcpd: DHCPDISCOVER from 08:00:27:84:b7:23 via eth1 Oct 4 13:22:50 kello dhcpd: DHCPOFFER on 192.168.2.50 to 08:00:27:84:b7:23 via eth1 Oct 4 13:22:55 kello dhcpd: DHCPDISCOVER from 08:00:27:84:b7:23 via eth1 Oct 4 13:22:55 kello dhcpd: DHCPOFFER on 192.168.2.50 to 08:00:27:84:b7:23 via eth1 As in theory, I'm expecting it to send DHCPREQUEST in response to server DHCPOFFER and server to hit back with DHCPACK. Why it doesn't work? How can i debug it to find out what's wrong with it? TIA -- Hiisi. Registered Linux User #487982.
