This brings up a good point.  We really should "fix" it so that the
default values are in sync and work without these changes.

Thanks Bruce, it's obvious now, the default IP address for the Local LAN was 
192.168.1.254 but the default address range for the DHCP server was 
192.168.0.xx, different networks. I have changed the Local LANs IP to 
192.168.0.254 and it is now working.
Thanks for your help is it much appreciated.

Thanks for the suggestion - I stopped ntp, deleted the drift file and set t=

correct time again with ntpdate - all appears to be running correctly now (=

If it's not starting, you might have something mis-configured.

It seems like the local IP defaults to a different subnet than the DHCP
default range, which would cause the DHCP server NOT to start.  (one is
192.168.0 and the other is 192.168.1?)  I don't remember the details,
but I'm pretty sure you have to tweak the defaults somewhere.

I think you can start the DHCP server manually with the command:

  /etc/init.d/dhcpd start

It still won't start until you fix whatever is preventing it from
running, but it may provide useful error messages.  

If no errors are displayed, try this:

  sh -x /etc/init.d/dhcpd start

Re: [Devil-Linux-discuss] internet connection goes 'inactive'

[ross p. <ras...@ya...>]

The DSL modem is connected to DL via eth0.  I have a two card configuration.  1 for internet, and 1 to the local network.

Heiko Zuerker <he...@zu...> wrote: -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Since you're using DSL, how's DL connected to the modem?
You find the current log message on console 10 (switch with ALT F10).
DL doesn't write the logs to a file per default, since it's running of the
ramdisk. If you got a harddisk in you system, you can configure DL to use
it (see docs). Then enable the logging to the hdd in
/etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf.

Under the network card setup for your local LAN, there is a setting that
says "Act as a DHCP server for this subnet" (same screen where you set
the IP address for that NIC).  You need to turn this setting ON.  (and
save-config, and reboot).

[Devil-Linux-discuss] DHCP problem

[Bobble H. <bob...@ho...>]

I am using Devil-Linux 1.2.9-i586 and have configured it using the setup 
command as a basic two nic firewall. I am new to Linux so haven't modified 
any files manually.
I have configured the Internet card to get an IP info from a DHCP server.
I have configured the Local LAN card to act as a DHCP server for this subnet 
(192.168.1.254:255.255.255.0).
The system boots and gets an IP address from the internet side but doesn't 
seem to give out IP addresses on the local LAN side.
I have manually configured a client PC (WinXP) with a static IP address of 
192.168.1.100:255.255.255.0 plus DNS server addressed and the router seems 
to work ok. However if I configure the client PC to get its IP address from 
the DHCP server then it fails to get an address when doing a ipconfig 
release and renew.
Do I need to start the DHCP server and how can I check on the DHCP server 
status?
You help in this matter is much apprieciated.

I am using DL v. 1.2.9, and I have a qwest DSL connection.  There are no programs I am running that should be closing the connection.  I don't have a local DNS server.  I am using the default firewall options, and I don't know where to find the logs.  I am quite new to devil linux.  I have been using ubuntu linux with Firestarter firewall, but I wanted a more stripped down, firewall geared distribution.

You need to give us a lot more information before we even can attempt to
help you.

Which DL version?
What kind of Internet connection?
Any programs running to open/close the connection ? (i.e. rp-ppoe)
Do you have a local DNS Server ?
Are you using any supplied firewall scripts?
What's in the logs?

I have just downloaded and installed the other version
(1.2.10-2006-03-13-i686-SMP).

The problem went away.

I was previously using the i486 version.

I noticed this behavior on a DL 1.2.8 box a while ago, and it turned out to be 
suspend settings in the BIOS. You might check there, make sure that your 
disks aren't being spun down and the PC put to sleep. You might also have the 
option in BIOS to set WOL (wake-on-lan) so your other boxen can wake the 
fiewall when they want out, and you can retain your suspend settings to 
conserve electricity.

If it runs on your NSA box, it will run on mine too :-)

btw: They deliver the new 1041 with a silent power supply (I have mine on
the desk in front of me in the middle of the engineering office)

You need to give us a lot more information before we even can attempt to
help you.

Which DL version?
What kind of Internet connection?
Any programs running to open/close the connection ? (i.e. rp-ppoe)
Do you have a local DNS Server ?
Are you using any supplied firewall scripts?
What's in the logs?

I also started a fresh compile for a 1.2.10-pre, just in case the one you
got has issues.

It will be a i686 version, is that ok ?

That's the way I tried it too.

Weird.
Can you compare your 1.2.10-pre release with the one which is currently on
the FTP server ? Maybe it's an older one.

If that all doesn't help, it's probably time to run the last command via
strace, to see where it load that stuff from.

If I access the system over ssh it works fine, but not on the local
console. (Physicaly attached keyboard and screen)

I have also tried to delete the btmp file.

[Devil-Linux-discuss] internet connection goes "inactive"

[ross p. <ras...@ya...>]

I have my devil linux firewall setup, and seems to be working properly.  Thie issue, however, is that my internet connection seems to be active for only about ten minutes.  After that I have to do something like ping google.com or the like.  I have about 3 computers that share internet through the firewall.  After 10 minutes, I get a "Can't find server error", but after I do a ping from the firewall, all seems to be well again.  Why does the connection go out, and how can I fix this?
