Hi, I have my desktop machine and my headless server machine being running on booth Debian GNU/Linux Squeeze operating system.
I must recover my server system through ssh connection so so I must to setup dhcp-server on my desktop system first so it can provide for the server an IP address. On my desktop system there I have already installed the network-manager package and now I have installed the isc-dhcp-server package too on this system. I don't know how to setup my interfaces so I achieve my goal. I have sofar following setup on my desktop system: * /etc/network/interfaces auto lo iface lo inet loopback allow-hotplug eth1 # to my ISP allow-hotplug eth0 # LAN to my server iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 network 192.168.1.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255 gateway 192.168.1.1 * /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 { interface eth0; range 192.168.1.99 192.168.1.99; option routers 192.168.1.1; option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0; } * /etc/default/isc-dhcp-server INTERFACES="eth0" So when I try to start dhcp-server I get an error message: sudo /etc/init.d/isc-dhcp-server start Starting ISC DHCP server: dhcpdcheck syslog for diagnostics. ... failed! failed! sudo ifconfig shows only eth1 but not the eth0: eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:14:04:31:19:9f inet addr:95.85.169.32 Bcast:95.85.169.255 Mask:255.255.254.0 inet6 addr: fe80::214:4ff:fe31:199f/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:70891 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:44387 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:93706740 (89.3 MiB) TX bytes:4889805 (4.6 MiB) lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:126 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:126 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:11635 (11.3 KiB) TX bytes:11635 (11.3 KiB) I restarted networking but still get not eth0 up: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart Running /etc/init.d/networking restart is deprecated because it may not enable again some interfaces ... (warning). Reconfiguring network interfaces...done. I restarted networking with network-manager too but still get not eth0 up: sudo /etc/init.d/network-manager restart What am I missing here? -- Regards, Pal <http://csanyi-pal.info> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
