I can't explain more on why I choose the combination of the above IP addresses because those were given by my administrator. I will ask him some questions on what network is that, and maybe then we can find out how is that conflicting with the dhcp server that I have built. Also just wanted to say that the guys at our college has something called cyberoam filter, which also acts as a dhcp server, but now the dhcp server is disabled. I also want to make a small confession, that although there was a small introductory course last year on computer networks, but I am sure a super noob in these IPs and subnet things. -- Regards, Anubhav Yadav Imperial College of Engineering and Research, Pune. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
