DHCP Servr configuration
I am attempting to set up a dhcp server and its going rather
slowly.
Would like to have the bare minimum config for a single networked
(windows) machine which I want to give internet access to from my
debian server.
The debian runs the dhcpcd and is configured thus by the ISP:
inet addr:24.132.170.14 Bcast:24.132.171.255 Mask:255.255.254.0
So now this machine has internet access.
I configure eth0 as follows:
ifconfig eth0 204.254.239.10 up
Here is the dhcp.conf which I had a go at:
---
option domain-name "loots.com";
default-lease-time 600;
max-lease-time 7200;
subnet 128.164.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 128.164.1.0 128.164.1.20;
option broadcast-address 128.164.1.10;
}
---
I am sure the broadcast-address is wrong.
/usr/sbin/dhcpd eth0
This manages to configure the client windows machine and I
may telnet from it to the debian. To get internet access, however,
I experimented manually adding a default route (to both eth0
and eth1 of the debian). Nothing works to give the windows machine
internet access.
What could I be missing?
