re: dhcp for internal network

[Tom Cooper <tom_cooper bigfoot com>]

I'm running the same sort of configuration at my house.

Here's how mine is configured. (This is my /etc/dhcpd.conf)

***********************************
subnet 192.168.100.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
        # default gateway
        option routers 192.168.100.1;
        option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;

        option domain-name "home.com";
        option domain-name-servers a.b.c.d;

        range dynamic-bootp 192.168.100.50 192.168.100.55;
        default-lease-time 21600;
        max-lease-time 43200;

}
***********************************
My NAT machine is 192.168.100.1  (This acts as a router for my internal
network.)
I know that I don't own home.com, but none of my machines advertise that
name on the 'net, so I don't worry too much about this.

Replace a.b.c.d with the ip address of your DNS server.

I hope that this helps!

Tom Cooper

>Can someone get me started in setting up DHCP on my Redhat 6.1 box to
server the machines on the internal side of the network? I have everything
working pretty well by using static IP's, but my work laptop is setup to
use DHCP and I keep having to reconfigure my networking (Win98 laptop). I'd
love to set up a DHCP daemon to serve the laptop. I thought I needed DHCPD,
but the description I've read of that is
