[Ltsp-discuss] (Still) desperately seeking DHCP ...

[Adam Bogacki]

Hi, I've eliminated most of the possibilities preventing recognition of 
DHCP by ws001 mentioned in LTSP documentation, and at one stage

ps aux | grep dhcpd
was giving me three lines, the middle one containing '- vi dhcpd.conf'
which I assume was the problem.
According to the LTSP doc, if the workstation gets a valid reply from 
the DHCP server it gives a response containing

Me: 192.168.0.1, Server: 192.168.0.254, Gateway 192.168.0.254 

suggesting these are three key ingredients. They seem to be lacking in my
/etc/dhcpd.conf (below). I really don't care if IP is statically or 
dynamically
allocated (my ISP uses static) ... as long as it works. I've tried both 
options
without success. DHCPD starts at boot - can anything be fixed in the 
config below ?
