I came into work this morning to find I couldnt access my profile on the network. So I checked what was happening at start up. I noticed that our DHCP server has started giving out class A addresses. Everything is ok if I set up static ip address, but its just not fiesable to have the entire school working like that.
Indeed, not.
Does anyone know why our DHCP server may have started acting this way? And how I will be able to fix it? Any imput very very very welcome.
Ok, Andrew. What I suspect has happened is that SuSE (in its usually really annoying way) has changed some things for you. Typically "SuSEConfig" tries to be too helpful in updating/magling everything and so what you think is safe from being changed is not. DHCP is controlled (IIRC) here: /etc/network/interfaces/eth0 Edit that file, and fix the IP address range. Class A IP's are OK on a large network (10.x.x.x.) but I'm guessing you've a Class C?
