Priority: normal X-mailer: Pegasus Mail v3.31 Message-ID: <12E94511D6B@mercury.csg.peachnet.edu> Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi, I trying to install the wide-dhcp server from the 2.1.5-packages and I can't seem to get it to work. I would like to use the server to serve up both bootp and dhcp clients, all with statically assigned addresses. I did what the man pages and the installation instructions said but it is not working. When a windows machine tries to get its address from the server I get an error message that says something about no more addresses available in the pool. I find this strange because I am assigning addresses statically and that particular machine should always have the same address available. Can somebody help me? On a somewhat related note, I also would like the freeBSD machine that is serving as the dhcp/bootp server to be on multiple networks and I thought I could accomplish this by adding the following lines to /etc/rc.local: ifconfig ed0 alias 168.26.195.19 netmask 255.255.255.255 ifconfig ed0 alias 168.26.197.19 netmask 255.255.255.255 ifconfig ed0 alias 168.26.198.19 netmask 255.255.255.255 ifconfig ed0 alias 168.26.199.19 netmask 255.255.255.255 The machines main address is 168.26.193.19. When I do the above I get messages on other freeBSD machines that say something like: /kernel arplookup 168.26.199.19 failed: host is not on local network Are these messages harmless? I can ping 168.26.199.19 and telnet into it. Would this have anything to do with my dhcp problems?
