I cannot find adequate help anywhere as yet for this issue. I've installed the ISC dhcpd program from ports and am struggling to get it setup properly. As I mentioned in my other e-mail, I cannot share the contents of my configuration file. I'm sorry, I really wished I could. What I have is this (censored for host names and IP addresses): not authoritative; ddns-update-style none; deny unknown-clients; allow bootp; use-host-decl-names on; subnet 192.168.24.0 netmask 255.255.248.0 { # this server will only host bootp, thus the range is left out #leases default-lease-time 6000; max-lease-time 6000; option subnet-mask 255.255.248.0; option broadcast-address 192.168..31.255; option routers 192.168.24.1; option domain-name-servers 192.168.0.51; option domain-name "internal.domain"; } host host1 { option host-name "host1"; hardware ethernet 00:01:a2:4a:cc:af; fixed-address 192.168.27.0; } That's all of the globals in use by this server and a single host entry (there are 44 hosts using the range 192.168.27.0-192.168.27.43). I do not know what is causing my problem. The dhcpd server starts so I know there are no syntactic problems with my configuration file, but it's not answering requests for IP addresses. When I start the server, dhcpd -d, I get many lines with the test, "BOOTP from dynamic client and no dynamic leases." Also, because of how things are configured for the subnet I'm on, I cannot allow this server to respond to other DHCP requests. It can only service the small range of 44 that I've been allocated. The clients use bootp for this and although they are not booting anything from this server, or any other, bootp is used. Whether or not this is a good, or proper use, of bootp I know not. I didn't set it up, but it is what I have to use. Can anyone here offer me any ideas about what the problem might be? >From looking through the dhcpd.conf file I've found a configuration option for pool clauses that's something like this: lease limit N; but I don't think this is what I'm looking for. First off, it seems to only apply to pools and I'm not using any pools. Secondly, it would only help if the assumption is correct that without this statement the server defaults to a lease limit of 0. This, I don't believe, is the case from what I've read in this man page. Any help is greatly appreciated thanks, Andy -- A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
