Hi,
I got the dhcpd server (SuSE 9.1) running with the configuration below. But I cannot assign an dynamic IP address to my laptop (SuSE 9.0) in the local network now. The laptop is configured as a dhcp client and usually to works fine with this configuration. So I guess there are still some things missing in the dhcpd configuration?
Can it be due to my firewall settings of the dhcpd server? I turned on ssh and rsync ports as well as forwarding and masquerading, protect all running services and trace route. Protect from internal network is disabled.
How do you connect your laptop to the server? via 1 cable or via a hub/switch? Mind the crosslink cable... Check /var/log/{messages,warn} (client & server) * install dhcp-tools on client & server, it contains dhcpdump & dhcping * This little script will reduce typing: ----8<----8<--[dhcp-dump]--8<----8<----8<----8<---- #! /bin/bash DEV=${1:-eth0} tcpdump -i $DEV -lenx -s 1500 port bootps or port bootpc | dhcpdump ----8<----8<--[dhcp-dump]--8<----8<----8<----8<---- chmod +x dhcp-dump * on both client & server, run 'dhcp-dump eth0' or 'dhcp-dump eth0' * then on the client, on another console, do 'ifdown eth0', followed by 'ifup eth0' * on the client's dhcp-dump output, you'll see what is sent (& recieved) * on the servers's dhcp-dump putput, you should see what the client is sending. If you want to post the dhcp-dump output, try to cut it down by showing only the 1st of repeating packets. Cheers, Leen
