Hi, What was wrong with your command? # apt-cache search dhcpd will show that a dhcp server is available with the debian package: dhcp
Therefore, # apt-get install dhcp should get you the daemon you need. edit /etc/dhcpd.conf to setup your ranges and such. hth, cheers, Mike Quoting John Griffiths <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > hi all, > > I'm a little confused... > > I've run dhcp boxes (freesco and NAT'ing firewall routers) so I was > expecting it to be a little easier under debian. > > I'm on a fixed IP network, but there are some free addresses I'd like to > make available for guest boxes. > > I thought a dhcp server would be simple, and would just take the IP configs > of the server, ask what addresses i wanted to make available and get on > with handing out the leases. > > apt-cache search dhcpd > > gave me an array of software all with dizzying config options. > > Can anyone explain a simple way of perforing this simple task? > _______________________________________________ > > Not yet is the spirit of that pristine valour > extinct in you, when girt with steel and lofty flames > once we fought against the empire of heaven. > We were -- that I will not deny -- vanquished in that conflict: > yet the great intention was not lacking in nobility. > Something or other gave Him victory: to us remained > the glory of a dauntless daring. > And even if my troop fell thence vanquished, > yet to have attempted a lofty enterprise is still a trophy. > > --From La Strage degli Innocenti (The Slaughter of the > Innocents) by Giambattista Marino (1569-1625) > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
