address wich is not fixed. In NT this is done with a few mouseclicks and a little bit of typing. In Suse it should be done with dhcpd. and weeks of probing the internet. With kcmdhcpd i tried as root to assign address range 192.168.17.2 192.168.17.10 on to eth1 with ip 192.168.17.1/255.255.255.0. When i type in /usr/sbin/dhcpd start it displays the message "192.168.17.2 192.168.17.10 not on net 192.168.17.1/255.255.255.0" What do i do wrong and is there a tool to diagnose & correct this problem. If so where?
Peter, welcome to SuSE Linux. A little learning in the Manual pages should get you going. DHCPD is the correct program, /etc/dhcpd.conf is the configuration file for the program, type "man dhcpd" and "man dhcpd.conf" to get a wealth of info that will not only get you going but will educate you as to what you are doing, why, etc. Linux allows YOU to control yor computer INSTEAD of Micro$oft. It may be a bit harder in the beginning, but well worth the effort. ;) -- Joe & Sesil Morris New Tribes Mission Email Address: Joe_Morris@ntm.org Web Address: www.mydestiny.net/~joe_morris "All I have seen teaches me to trust the Creator for all I have not seen." --Ralph Waldo Emerson
