Hello Darrick
Hello Lonnie,
My main aim is to define the IP range; the router and the dns server for DHCP on
each network separately.
My problem to some extent is getting my head around what can be done in the GUI
and what has to be done by hand.
And then making sure I know where everything is because when I get it working I
want to transfer all the config files to another AstLinux machine.
i.e. new install - standard config, overwritten with these config files, re-boot
hope the two machines are exactly the same.
Here's what I've found:
Firstly re "On 10/22/2010 06:06 PM, Lonnie Abelbeck wrote:"(see below).
I have the following interfaces:
*Internal Interfaces:*
1st LAN Interface: -- -- IP: NetMask:
2nd LAN Interface: -- -- IP: NetMask:
3rd LAN Interface: -- -- IP: NetMask:
If I edit the "/mnt/kd/dnsmasq.static" file using the GUI and insert the
dhcp-options that Lonnie includes in her mail.
Then when I do a Restart DNS & DHCP
I get "Action Failed."
If I comment out Lonnies dhcp-options again and Restart DNS & DHCP then it
restarts.
Now,
If I have DNS & DHCP running on eth2 i.e. I change the settings on the Network
screen, save the changes and Restart DNS & DHCP and _then_ make the changes that
Lonnie suggested the DHCP restarts OK.
HOWEVER - I now have two dhcp ranges.
i.e. from the syslog on the status screen:
Nov 8 21:13:59 iPBX daemon.info dnsmasq[26240]: started, version 2.55
cachesize 2048
Nov 8 21:13:59 iPBX daemon.info dnsmasq[26240]: compile time options: IPv6
GNU-getopt no-DBus no-I18N DHCP TFTP
Nov 8 21:13:59 iPBX daemon.info dnsmasq-dhcp[26240]: DHCP, IP range

Nov 8 21:13:59 iPBX daemon.info dnsmasq-dhcp[26240]: DHCP, IP range
192.168.207.100 -- 192.168.207.252, lease time 1d
Nov 8 21:13:59 iPBX daemon.info dnsmasq-tftp[26240]: TFTP root is /tftpboot
Nov 8 21:13:59 iPBX daemon.info dnsmasq[26240]: using local addresses only for

Nov 8 21:13:59 iPBX daemon.info dnsmasq[26240]: using nameserver 192.168.1.1#53
Nov 8 21:13:59 iPBX daemon.info dnsmasq[26240]: using local addresses only for
domain infoservers.net
Nov 8 21:13:59 iPBX daemon.info dnsmasq[26240]: read /etc/hosts - 3 addresses
Nov 8 21:13:59 iPBX daemon.info dnsmasq-dhcp[26240]: read /etc/ethers - 0
addresses
(I set the lease time to '1h' and the range to 125-130 - not like in Lonnie's
example)
This is not what I want.
The question is how to I get it working?
All the Best,
-Graham-
