Hello.
Doing my first steps in Linux and while trying to configure a DHCP server in Linux i encountered some problems:
TOPOLOGY:
- Laptop with Windows 8.1
- VM Player 12 with Linux installed (Ubuntu Server 14.04)
- ICS-DHCP-SERVER installed and running
- Another LAPTOP conected to a switch to verify IP discover.
The problem i have is that neither my windows or whatever device i connect can receive IP from Linux DHCP server.
VM WARE CONFIGURATION:
I selected bridge mode in the custom configuration: Vmnet0 which is bridge mode.
WINDOWS CONFIGURATION:
- IN DHCP cliente activated i do not receive anything. For test purpose i configured a static IP: 192.168.2.10/24 and the gateway of my router 192.168.2.1.
LINUX CONFIGURATION:
My ethernet card is named eth0.
A) ICS-DHCP-SERVER
editing /etc/dhcp/dhcp.conf i left all lines as they were having:
Since this VM will be my DHCP Server i configured a static IP in my NIC. So editing /etc/network/interfaces i configured:
TESTS:
- Having static IP in my Windows and in Linux insidw VM i have ping. - Ping OK against 8.8.8.8 from both machines.
- My windows do not receive IP from VM DHCP Server.
- If i change the configuration from my ETH0 interface and configure it with DHCP instead of static IP, the ICS-DHCP-SERVER does serve an IP correctly.
- Windows with firewall deactivated. No antivirus.
- Ubuntu firewall ufw disabled.
- In summary DHCP Server is not working outside of VM.
I already tried (since nothing works) configuring the network adpater in bridge mode, NAT, and nothing works.
Can somebody help with some idea i am not considering?
I need to setup a DHCP server in our office for Macs, Windows (98/ME/NT/2000) Linux and Unix servers and workstations. We want it on a Unix server, but I'm unsure what is out there. The Unix world is new to me, so any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks!

My intention was to build a dual boot XP Pro 64 and Ubuntu media server. I had installed the AMD64 version of Ubuntu 8.10 server and thought that I would be able to install Apache server.

I am having trouble starting the DCHP server in a non-global zone that has exclusive access to an interface. Every time I attempt to start it goes in to maintenance mode and the error in the log shows this:

Hi
just looking for some advise on the best way to set-up a passive dhcp server in solaris.
Was thinking of exporting the dhcp data/macros etc to a separate server to use as a backup that will be activated when the main dhcp server goes down
Any hints/tips etc greatly appreciated (1 Reply)

Where can you find your DHCP Server address? I checked all of the files that this mentioned with no luck.
