DHCP will not start!

[demon42]

Please Help!!!

My machine has three ethernet cards, I am trying to set them up as such:
eth0: DHCP server (static IP), seperate vlan
eth1: WAN connection (static IP, on router I do not control)
eth2: not sure/doesn't matter

I have gone over and recompiled my kernel several times, but with the command "dchpd" I always get the error:

Is there any info in your /var/log/messages files (/var/log/messages if you use syslog, /var/log/messages/everything/current if you use metalog)that appear when you get this error??

Also, can we see your kernel config file??

Here is a screenshot of the related area in my .config file.

Yes, there is info in the error log, but it is identical to the error output from trying to start dhcp with 'dhcpd'

I am more than willing to list ALL the current kernel settings if you need them... (Is there an easy way to do that?)

thank you again, any ideas?

I think your eth2 is messing up with eth1. Take it out. Why are you broadcasting on the same as the other one??? Not an expert, BTW.

Have you checked to router guide? http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/home-router-howto.xml?

I've tried taking eth2, but it didn't make a difference, except that the No subnet declaration... line did not appear. Also, I think you meant that it''s messing with eth0... right? eth1 works fine.

And yes, I have looked at that guide. In fact, I went about setting up dhcp by following that guide.

thanks anyways

I would say forget for a second about your third card, and follow the instructions exactly as they are. Make sure you run lilo after compiling your kernel (i'm sure you are)
