Topic: DHCP Daemon pb's tackled !!!

[Confucius]

Hi,

After searching and searching and browsing through all the posts I finally decided to bite my way in the DHCP matter that is bothering a lot of SME 5.1.2 users.

I think I have found the solution.

Download and install (Update) this new DHCP server :

ftp://angus.ind.wpi.edu/pub/packages/isc/dhcp/redhat72/dhcp-server-3.0.1rc7-1cra.i386.rpm

Create a custum-template which I called "10BaseSettingDHCP30" in the /etc/e-smith/templates-custum/etc/dhcpd.conf map and place the next line in

ddns-update-style none;

and save this.

expand the template by using /sbin/e-smith/expand-template /etc/dhcpd.conf
and finally restart the DHCPD server by the next line

service dhcpd restart


For me this solution solved the problem and I think this solves it for most of you people.

But what is the problem that is bothering "alot of SME users"?

Amazing that I have to explain that....
It didn't give out IP numbers, what else can be a problem on a DHCP server ?

[Luke Drumm]

"Under what circumstances?" I think was the underlying question.

Luke,

If you read the threads u'll see that it's under various circumstances. Clean installs, Updates.. Several people tried to get it fixed. E-Smith seems to have no answer or I'm blind

It's not a major topic for me at home with max 4 clients but at work I do prefer to have the full functionality and that made me experiment at home until one of us dropped... finally the server lost the battle and gives out IP numbers again

And most important... this subject solved it for me... was happy to post it for all, if people have no use for it then they should ignore it.

I was expecting error-reports and all I get is questions WHAT & WHY ? and that's really amazing to me because it has been discussed more as 1 time already, in the general, the experienced and the dev. area.

BUT... let's not get too excited... people who can use it, USE IT people who see no use in it.. FORGET IT...

What is the previous thread under?  I'm having networking problems under 5.1.2 also.

Thanks!
