Hi,
Never used kcmdhcpd so have no knowledge of it. However, all you need to
do is install the dhcpd server software onto your linux box and alter
your /etc/dhcpd.conf file to something like this.
option netbios-name-servers 192.168.17.1;
option domain-name-servers 192.168.17.1;
option domain-name "mydomain.com";
option broadcast-address 255.255.255.255;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
option routers 192.168.17.1;
shared-network workgroup {
subnet 192.168.17.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 192.168.17.2 192.168.17.10;
}
}
The above assumes you run DNS (Bind) on your linux box.
The only thing other thing I seem to remember I used to have to do, (for
SuSE V6.3 and 6.4), was to add an entry into /etc/init.d/dhcp adding
something like 'route add -host 255.255.255.255 dev eth0' but my SuSE
Linux V7.1 installation I run now doesn't have that and seems to generate
IP addresses OK so I assume they must have developed a work around.
Actually, thinking about it further, it was something to do with the
broken TCP/IP in Windows '95 which wouldn't work properly with the ISC
dhcpd server.
Anyway - then just start your dhcpd server daemon on start-up. I think
it's in yast - set START_DHCPD = yes. Personally I do all set-up in
yast. Theres very few things you can't do there. Have a look at the
manual.
Hope this helps.
