 Posted: Thu Jul 28, 2005 4:07 pm Post subject: Having problems after following Gentoo Router Guide |
 |
|
I am having the problem after following http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/home-router-howto.xml
to the last word.
during boot I have this:
| Code: | | * Starting dhcpd ... [ !! ] |
But it should be like this
| Code: | | * Starting dhcpd ... [ ok ] |
"ok" instead of "!!".
Does anybody has any ideas?

| Do you have anything in your logs? I assume this the router's DHCP failing, rather than dhcpcd. I'd be checking the dhcp.conf file for any typos in case it is barfing on that. Try starting the thing by hand and seeing if you get output to show the error. Add the debug option (maybe -d) when running it for more verbose output/logging. |

I dont know what is "dhcpcd". I checked th dhcp.conf for typos, none found.

I have no idea how to fix it.
And besides, I dont think it matters.
I am trying to "broadcast" and not "listen".

| Maybe you need it to listen. I understood you were setting up the machine, per the howto. It acts as a DHCP server. To do this it must listen out for broadcasts asking for any DHCP servers. If you don't want it to serve up addresses to machines on the LAN then you don't need a DHCP server. DHCPCD is a client and that broadcasts. |

Ok, I think you are right, I do need it to listen.
But I followed the guide to the last word, so it should be configured to listen.
But it's say's that it's not... 
And what is DHCPCD? I only know what is DHCPD (from the guide).

If the router needs to pick up an address - say from your broadband - then DHCPCD (the Client Daemon) will pick one up.
This is the bit for DHCP to listen, I'd say:
| Quote: | # nano /etc/conf.d/dhcp
(Set IFACE="eth0") |

I have this line in my /etc/conf.d/dhcp, just like they guide said.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say lose the brackets. Seems odd form for a config file.
