Dear Busybox users and Developers, I am happily using busybox 1.13.3 on MIPS embedded system.
I came currently to the point to use busybox dhcpd and dnsd. I start first dhcpd: MIPS# udhcpd /var/udhcpd.conf where /var/udhcpd.conf contains: interface eth0 start 192.168.2.100 end 192.168.2.200 opt subnet 255.255.255.0 opt router 192.168.2.1 opt dns 192.168.2.1 option lease 946080000 #--------- Next I start the dnsd MIPS# /usr/sbin/dnsd -c /var/dnsd.conf -i 192.168.2.1 where /var/dnsd.conf contains: thebox 192.168.2.1 Next I connect the node which is configured to get the IP address from the DHCP server. Just after I type: MIPS# dumpleases -a MIPS# Mac Address IP-Address Expires at MIPS# 00:03:75:7a:24:de 192.168.2.100 Sat Dec 25 01:00:00 1999 MIPS# date MIPS# Tue Jul 7 13:54:50 CEST 2009 I get the IP address as expected. The Expiration time is however wrong but it probably does not matter so much. When I refer to my node (192.168.2.100) by name I get: MIPS# ping MY-TEST-BOX MIPS# ping: bad address 'MY-TEST-BOX' MIPS# ping 192.168.2.100 MIPS# 192.168.2.100 is alive! The name is sent by the node connected with DHCP option 12. The config file /etc/resolv.conf contains: nameserver 192.168.2.1 Does anybody have an idea how to configure properly the DNS together with DHCP servers. Thank you in advance for any hint Mirek _______________________________________________ busybox mailing list [email protected] http://lists.busybox.net/mailman/listinfo/busybox
