Hi
From: Koenraad Lelong [mailto:k.lelong@ace-electronics.be] Hi, I switched from an NT to a Linux DHCP-server. Although I never configured the server for a DNS-server address of 192.168.10.7, this is what clients get when they ask for an IP-address.
So it's obviously an IP-address within your range, isn't it? It isn't. I failed to mention that the subnet is 255.255.255.0. Anyhow, when looking further I discovered that DHCPD runs chrooted. So I looked for another dhcpd.conf. When I found this, everything was like before, but then I looked into some other files in that directory, like host.conf and hosts. This last file was the culprit. There was an entry for the box, with that wrong address. After removing this from the /etc/hosts file, and restarting dhcpd, all is OK now. -- Met vriendelijke groeten, Koenraad Lelong R&D Manager ACE electronics n.v.
