I have received my 'official' copy of SuSE 7.3 and have installed it on the server machine. I have tried to configure a DHCP server. I have followed the instructions in the manual and get a positive response to the rcdhcp start command - but whenever a client machine logs on to the network, no IP address is issued. I must be doing something very basic incorrectly - even if I fix the IP address - I can't ping the server. (It isn't a hardware problem and I have tested all the hardware successfully. Similarly, I have tried (with the same lack of success) to configure a SAMBA server. Here I think the problem is establishing accounts for the client machines - I can't find out where to do it? Finally, I have attempted to use WEBMIN to configure SAMBA - but when I try to browse //localhost:901 The response is 'No file of that name'. As always, any pointers are really appreciated. Cheers, Alistair

What is in your /etc/dhcpd.conf file. Also are you getting any messages about DHCP in /var/log/messages?

In which case either the hardware isn't connected correctly together or you havn't enabled the ethernet card on the server. What are the outputs of ifconfig and route -v ? -- Mark Evans St. Peter's CofE High School Phone: +44 1392 204764 X109 Fax: +44 1392 204763
