Hello,

Hi all,

i see in your syslog that some NIC ask an IP frequently and the dhcpd give one different each time, so the IP range it's rapidly empty (no free leases). I don't know if it's normal but may be one solution it's to assign a short "lease-time" to the IP address with :

default-lease-time 600;   (an IP for 10 minutes)
max-lease-time 7200;

see this page : http://linuxcommand.org/man_pages/dhcpd8.html

another solution very stable for my computers (less than ten) it's to assign fix address with :

   host PC_name1 {
     hardware ethernet xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx;
     fixed-address 192.168.0.X;
     }
   host PC_name2 {
     hardware ethernet xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:yy;
     fixed-address 192.168.0.Y;
     }
    ..............

It's very good solution, I use DHCP server with ip address fix
and webmin for configuration, I manage one vlan /24 without
problem
