Recently, my ISP (Comcast cable) announced they were switching to dynamic DNS. So, I presume I could use dnsmasq on my Sun Ultra 1, running Debian, to serve DHCP requests and provide the DNS server address to my home network of Linux and Windows XP machines. I also use two Netgear gigabit switches to connect the Ultra in the basement with the PC's on the 1st and 2nd floors (and a wireless router for laptops with a static IP of 192.168.1.1)
My DHCP server works fine. However, dnsmasq does not offer addresses, no matter what options I try in dnsmasq.conf. I believe the operative lines in dnsmasq.conf are: domain-needed bogus-priv filterwin2k listen-address=192.168.1.251,127.0.0.1 #Ultra 1 server static IP facing home network dhcp-range=192.168.1.2,192.168.1.254,255.255.255.0,infinite dhcp-host=00:02:44:ab:da:fb,Zgate,192.168.1.254,infinite dhcp-host=00:50:8d:d7:ad:66,Zamd64,192.168.1.247,infinite dhcp-host=00:e0:7d:f2:7c:91,compaz,192.168.1.252,infinite dhcp-host=00:02:a5:68:82:cf,TOFU,192.168.1.248,infinite dhcp-host=00:09:5b:65:00:a8,emachine,192.168.1.249,infinite #These are the various x86 PC's in my household. dhcp-option=19,0 # option ip-forwarding off dhcp-option=44,0.0.0.0 # set netbios-over-TCP/IP nameserver(s) aka WINS server(s) dhcp-option=45,0.0.0.0 # netbios datagram distribution server dhcp-option=46,8 # netbios node type dhcp-option=47 # empty netbios scope. log-queries My syslog shows this when dnsmasq is started, but no sign of requests from any other PC's on my network: Mar 2 02:03:11 localhost dnsmasq[6065]: started, version 2.22 cachesize 150 Mar 2 02:03:11 localhost dnsmasq[6065]: DHCP, IP range 192.168.1.2 -- 192.168.1.254, lease time infinite Mar 2 02:03:11 localhost dnsmasq[6065]: read /etc/hosts - 14 addresses Mar 2 02:03:11 localhost dnsmasq[6065]: reading /etc/resolv.conf Mar 2 02:03:11 localhost dnsmasq[6065]: using nameserver 68.87.77.130#53 Mar 2 02:03:11 localhost dnsmasq[6065]: using nameserver 68.87.72.130#53 Mar 2 02:06:08 localhost dnsmasq[6065]: exiting on receipt of SIGTERM Where does "log-queries" send its output to? The "exiting" results from me stopping dnsmasq so I can restart the dhcp server-and send this email. Any help is greatly appreciated.
