 Posted: Fri Oct 01, 2004 11:13 pm Post subject: dynamic ip + name help please |
 |
|
i've tried some things and read some post and manuals, but i'm a little stuck. i'm trying to set my two gentoo boxes to dynamically recive ip's from a server.
i've set:
| Code: |
ifconfig_eth0=( "dhcp" )
dhcpcd_eth0="-h `/bin/hostname`"
routes_eth0=(
"default gw 192.168.0.2"
)
|
the server is a windows 2003 server machine running it's native nat module, that is giving ip's dynamically. it's a little stupid that thing and you can't change _anything_. no settings. it's not my server, so please don't tell me to not use windows for this, i wouldn't.
i'm getting this error and don't know what it means (not looked it up yet, but i will) and it's not working at all, even though my machine seems to get an ip, there's no name to ip resolution.
| Code: |
* Bringing eth0 up...
* eth0 dhcp [ ok ]
* eth0 received address 192.168.0.40
* Adding routes
* default gw 192.168.0.2
SIOCADDRT: File exists [ !! ]
|
is there anything i've forgotten?
i've also tried to start "/etc/init.d/domainname". but this obviously does nothing and i don't even have a "/etc/conf.d/dommainname" or smiliar. what am i doing wrong here?

I think you should replace your -h with
That -h means you're sending your hostname to the server and not the other way around.
On the other hand i might be misunderstanding what you're wanting

i won't get a hostname from the server. the server is _plain stupid_. you can't configure that thing, so i need to send mine over to it. but it doesn't seem to work. how is this working in a pure windows environment? netbios? i have no idea how to use that or even how it works. i need to change that, maybe that helps me. but i don't understand this damn:
| Code: |
SIOCADDRT: File exists [ !! ]
|
can anyone tell me, what that is?

| I know that you have to use the windows 2k3 server for your dhcp but have you tried using a different dhcp server temporarily so you can rule that out. Maybe try the proper windows dhcp server which is actually quite good and has lots of settings to change. |
