I'm helping a friend with his home network setup. We had DHCP working, and
now it's mysteriously broken.
A tcpdump shows an endless succession of arp who-has requests, but no
response, and there's no DHCPACK in /var/log/messages. The DHCP server
appears to start up fine, and listen to the correct address.
The network is 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0, and he's got 3 or 4 machines on
that network, none of which are able to get a rise out of the server. There
*is* a route to 255.255.255.255 for eth1, so that's not the problem either.
Here's the dhcpd.conf (removing the extra host entries for brevity):
---(snip!)---
default-lease-time 600;
max-lease-time 7200;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
option broadcast-address 192.168.0.255;
option routers 192.168.0.1;
option domain-name "chucknet";
option domain-name-servers 192.168.0.1, 216.231.41.22, 216.231.41.2;
subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
default-lease-time 21600;
max-lease-time 43200;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
option broadcast-address 192.168.0.255;
range 192.168.0.100 192.168.0.120;
host limper {
hardware ethernet 0:a0:c9:8:ab:50;
fixed-address limper.chucknet;
option host-name "limper";
}
}
---(snip!)---
Any ideas what could be going wrong, or where to even start in debugging?
