 Posted: Fri Mar 11, 2005 12:19 am Post subject: [SOLVED] Gentoo Router DHCP problem |
 |
|
I'm trying to use my little server as a router for my homeNetwork.
I have cable (connected to eth0)
and eth1 is connected to a switch.
I found an online manual at http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/home-router-howto.xml but i'm having troubles at:
| Quote: | | # /etc/init.d/dhcp start |
DHCP just won't start, is there a way how i can figure out what's wrong? cause i can't find any log-files :s
btw, i can ping www.google.be from eth0, so that's working fine. only that f*cking dhcp... :s
thx,
VlaDiMiR

| Tail the dhcp.log. By default, it's going to be pretty verbose, especially on error messages. You might have a message followed by a bunch of text telling you to read the docs before posting to their mailing list or something. The most common problem is something like "Not configured to listen on any interfaces" or something like that. |

| Code: |
updatedb
locate dhcp | grep log
