James, Sorry it's taken me so long to respond - I've been out. I'll include our config file for you to look at - but you've pretty much got it. Note the last couple of lines. If your ISP changes the network you're on then you would have to update this file to reflect the change. I would hope though that there wouldn't be too many @home type messes and that this wouldn't be needed very often. Or, you can use the solution which you've already found by starting it at the command line though that would appear to preclude the use of your distributions startup scripts for the DHCP server service. # Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol # DHCPd Daemon Configuration File # MHR last updated July 2001 # dlt=43200sec=12hours, mlt=259200sec=72hours # default-lease-time 43200; max-lease-time 259200; option domain-name-servers 192.168.1.1, 207.73.196.250; option domain-name "ourdomain.local"; # wins server - hybrid type (wins - broadcast) option netbios-name-servers 192.168.1.1; option netbios-node-type 8; # ddns-update-style can be 'none', 'ad-hoc', or 'interim' ddns-update-style ad-hoc; ddns-domainname "ourdomain.local"; ddns-rev-domainname "in-addr.arpa"; # primary LAN - we leases addresses here subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 { range 192.168.1.20 192.168.1.250; option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0; option broadcast-address 192.168.1.255; option routers 192.168.1.1; # dynamically update DNS records for the local zone key DHCP_UPDATER { algorithm HMAC-MD5.SIG-ALG.REG.INT; secret qz<munged>I==; }; zone OURDOMAIN.LOCAL. { primary 127.0.0.1; key DHCP_UPDATER; } zone 1.168.192.in-addr.arpa. { primary 127.0.0.1; key DHCP_UPDATER; } } # our gateway LAN - we do not lease addresses here subnet 10.8.24.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 { } Hope this helps. -- Mike Rambo [EMAIL PROTECTED]
