[Dnsmasq-discuss] Dnsmasq DHCP Server Doesn't Work
Hello Simon, All, I recently tried to configure dnsmasq to handle my DNS and DHCP for a small home LAN, however I was unable to get dnsmasq to provide IP addresses, dispite it being so simple in the configuration. As a result I filed a gentoo bug, and having gone through all the checks it seems as though it may be an issue with dnsmasq itself, rather than my config. http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=101498 contains my config file, as well as some netstat checks we've exhasuted our options, does anyone know what the problem is? Thanks for your time! -- Gabriel Devenyi a...@staticwave.ca
Re: [Dnsmasq-discuss] Dnsmasq DHCP Server Doesn't Work
Your config looks good so one idea can be that you have firewall rules filtering incoming traffic toward udp port 67 If that is not your case then can you see incoming dhcp requests with tcpdump while NOT see respective outgoing dhcp replies? If so, are there any messages from dnsmasq in your log files?
Re: [Dnsmasq-discuss] Missing DHCPNAKs
Gyorgy Farkas obtained a packet capture which confirmed my theory that Win XP forces its DHCP client into REBINDING state when it sees loss of carrier on a network interface. I've prepared another release candidate for dnsmasq 2.23 which takes this into account and generates appropriate DHCPNAKs. Please could people with an interest in this check it out and get back to me? Once this issue is proved then I think 2.23 is good to go. http://thekelleys.org.uk/dnsmasq-test/dnsmasq-2.23rc2.tar.gz Cheers, Simon.
