But there is a subnet declaration for this device in dhcpd.conf: -> From ifconfig: eth0:0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:E0:29:39:E7:F6 inet addr:192.168.1.1 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST NOTRAILERS RUNNING PROMISC MTU:1500 Metric:1 Interrupt:9 Base address:0xe800 -> From dhcpd.conf subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 { range 192.168.1.10 192.168.1.16; option routers 192.168.1.1; option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0; option broadcast-address 192.168.1.255; option domain-name-servers a.b.c.d, a.b.c.e; [...] } Moreover, DHCPD version 3.0 &+ complains about missing subnet declaration for each net device, but ignores them all but the net device on which the DHCPD runs. So the issue here is not the subnet declaration for eth0:0 that's missing (I think), but how to bind eth0:0 with DHCPD config. The archives on the web about this specific problem are not clear. Nobody seems to have an answer to my question. The other solution would be: get rid of the old ISA modem and get an ISA NIC as eth1 (which is very easy to configure with DHCPD). Anyway, thanks for your help... /NB ________________ Nicolas Beaulieu Teamwork is essential: it allows you to blame someone else. _________________
