[Sheflug] Am I Misunderstanding This?

[Alistair Williamson <xxxxx [at] xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am trying to set up a DHCP server running.

My /etc/dhcpd.conf file reads as follows:

default-lease-time 28800;
max-lease-time 57600;

option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
option routers 192.168.0.15;

ddns-update-style ad-hoc;

#define local network

	subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 
{
	range 192.168.0.50 192.168.0.254;
}

#make sure the router gets a fixed address

	host router
{
	hardware ethernet 00:02:E3:18:1A:8E;
	fixed-address 192.168.0.15;
}

dhcpd starts ok - but no host is issued with an IP address (I can now ping 
into and out of the server).

I don't have any routing tables or a DNS set up - would this have an effect? 
I don't see how I can translate names to addresses when the adresses are 
dynamic.

All the domains are set to 'localhost' - although we do have a FQDN 
(estfeld.doncaster.sch.uk) it is administered by an ISP and I understand if I 
include this in the domain name - trouble will ensue!

Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong?

Cheers,

Alistair
