[olug] AAARRRRGGGHHHH!!!! (More DHCP)

[David Walker]

It sounds like hardware to me.  DHCP should just work as long as there is an
ethernet path from the client to the server.

Assign a static IP to your internal client machine and try to ping the
server.  If it works then theoretically the DHCP should work also.

Okay, as everyone is well aware by now, I am attempting to set up a
router for my home network using DHCP. Every step I take causes more
problems. eth0 is successfully grabbing the IP address from the @home
server, but my internal network is refusing to grab an IP from the
server running on eth1. Ive added a route for 255.255.255.255 with no luck.

First, this is the contents of my /etc/network/interfaces (which
works... thanks Phil):

----------------------
iface lo inet loopback

iface eth0 inet dhcp

iface eth1 inet static
   address 192.168.1.1
   netmask 255.255.255.0
   network 192.168.1.0
   broadcast 192.168.1.255
# gateway 192.168.1.50
----------------------

Now, here is my dhcpd.conf file
----------------------
default-lease-time 600;
max-lease-time 7200;

option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
topion broadcast-address 192.168.1.255;
option routers 192.168.1.1;

option domain-name-servers 24.3.232.33, 24.3.232.34;

option domain-name "blvue1.ne.home.com";

subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0
{
   range 192.168.1.105 192.168.1.250;
}
-------------------------

Im beginning to suspect a routing problem. But frankly, Im stumped.

In other words, HELP!!!
