The box is also running Advanced Proxy, URL Filter, and classroom extensions. All that is running fine. This would lead me to believe the NIC is fine, but weirder things have happened.
Looking at the dhcp.config file I notice that it did not have a line like: lease-file-name "/var/state/dhcp/dhcpd.leases"; so I added that to the config file and rebooted. That it not seem to help. A later post asked about crashed processes. Here is what I got on that front: r...@ipcop:~ # ps aux|grep defunct root 17784 0.0 0.1 2980 624 pts/0 R+ 15:02 0:00 grep defunct" The next time I ran "ps aux|grep defunct" I got nothing back. Looking at PS AUX I find these: root 473 0.0 0.3 2688 1620 ? Ss 11:02 0:00 /usr/sbin/dhcpd -q eth0 dnsmasq 346 0.0 0.1 1696 780 ? S 11:02 0:04 /usr/sbin/dnsmasq -l /var/state/dhcp/dhcpd.lease So it looks like the processes are running. As for the range only being 10.0.2.50 to 10.0.2.255 - I have a static IP on almost all of my boxes; I only use DHCP for those few devices that MUST have a DHCP address and for those devices that are drug into mu school.

I will have to look and see. -----Original Message----- From: tech-geeks-boun...@tech-geeks.org [mailto:tech-geeks-boun...@tech-geeks.org] On Behalf Of Abe Loveless Sent: Monday, September 27, 2010 12:56 PM To: Tech-Geeks Mailing List Subject: Re: [tech-geeks] IPCop - DHCP not responding. ?? You're not going to want a router managing dhcp are you? What do the system stats show you on the status pages, etc? I've always heard that too large of a DHCP Range can really suck the memory out of a box. Also, did you verify that you have plenty of disk space free? That should also be available on one of the status screens. Is your content filter also on this machine? Any problems with that? On 9/27/2010 12:47 PM, Charlie Niehaus wrote: > Thanks Abe.
