 |
|
Just emerged dnsmasq and loving it - so small simple and beautiful compared to BIND+DHCPD 
But has anyone got fixed-address working using it?
Here's a snippet from /etc/dnsmasq.conf
| Code: |
# DHCP options
dhcp-range=192.168.0.100,192.168.0.150
dhcp-lease=/var/lib/dhcp/dhcpd.leases
# Set the default route to the ADSL router
dhcp-option=3,192.168.0.1
# Set the timeserver address
dhcp-option=42,192.168.0.2
# Fixed addresses
dhcp-host=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx,192.168.0.10,uberpc
|
I've tried many things, but uperpc always gets an ip address of 192.168.0.101  |

Hi there,
Just one thing you may try is using a XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX format for your hardware address instead of XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX. Or perhaps try: XX-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX. The thing is there is so many different ways of representing the MAC address of a card, and the XX:XX... is reasonably standard.
BTW, this is a guess. I do not have the dnsmasq man pages at hand.
Cheers,
Chris.

The man pages state XX:XX:XX:XX:etc
I'll give the others a go, but I don't have much hope of that fixing it |

Hi!
I had the same problem. I've solved it by extending the dhcp-range so that it includes the dhcp-host addresses too.
Not very logical (to me at least...), but nevertheless it works fine
| Code: | dhcp-range=10.0.0.5,10.0.0.100
dhcp-host=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx,10.0.0.5

Cool - that works!
And sucks at the same time
I'd like to reserve a few fixed address's, but if I can't do that like it is.......
I've sent an email to the developer. Hopefully it can be changed for the final 2.0 release
Thanks!  |

I've been told that the new version fixes this
However, there's currently a segfault problem when faking an name using the --address option |

You can assign fixed addresses in your /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf:
| Code: |
host mimi {
hardware ethernet XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX;
fixed-address 192.168.0.2;
}
|
Exclude those from the range of available addresses. |

| Sorry - was talking about dnsmasq version 2.0rc1 which has it's own DHCP config now and doesn't need a DHCP.conf file |

| Okay. My router is an old Gentoo-1.2 box without ACCEPT_KEYWORDS. So it's running dnsmasq-1.1.8 and dhcpd. |
