I am having problems with Devil Linux 1.2.14. I installed from devil-linux-1.2.14-i686-SMP-server.tar.bz2 download. I am not sure if it is a hardware problem or compatibility issue or just a simple setting I am missing. The only service I really need is DHCP for a small guest network and then SSH for management. I like the idea of using a small distro like this for this purpose but I am having problems getting it to work. If I boot up DevilLinux on the pc that as acting as a DHCP server and immediately have workstations power up they get a lease no problem. If DL is running for awhile and a workstation powers up or reboots they usually don't get a lease. The lease itself is for 10 days but the workstation will not have a valid address on the network if the DL pc is down. My /etc/dhcpd.conf reads as follows: authoritative; default-lease-time 864000; max-lease-time 864000; lease-file-name "/etc/dhcpd.leases"; get-lease-hostnames false; use-host-decl-names on; ddns-update-style none; option domain-name "guestdomain.com" option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0; subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 { option domain-name-servers X.X.X.X; option routers Y.Y.Y.Y; option broadcast-address 192.168.0.255; range 192.168.0.100 192.168.0.1 } When I look for the lease file I see two in /etc/ dhcpd.leases and dhcpd.leases~ dhcpd.leases has -rw-r--r-- dhcpd.leases~ has -rwxrwxrwx I am running this on an older HP vectra. When I tried to install on a newer but still old HP e500 PC the install program couldn't find the module for the on board network card which it identified as an Intel 82801. Assuming I could find a driver can they be added to DL or am I better off buying a different nic in which case which one is the best to try for? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. -Chris. |
