fedora dhcp

prongs_386

hi, i'm running fedora core 4.
I want a dhcp server to run on this machine but currently the service is failing to start.
i had to create the dhcpd.conf file in etc and my contets are

authoritative;
option domain-name "superlan.com';
subnet 10.1.1.0 netmas 255.255.255.0 {
range 10.1.1.20 10.1.1.200;
default-lease-time 600;
max-lease-time 700;
}

My hostname is superlan
but i'm not sure how the domain name works and couldnt find a place to set it.
The computer has a static ip of 10.1.1.1 and i can ping and vnc etc to the machine.

How can I set this up properly?

Hi, this is my configuration, worked for me perfectly:
=================================================
# option definitions common to all supported networks...
option domain-name "internal";
option domain-name-servers X.X.X.X, Y.Y.Y.Y;
option routers 192.168.0.1;
ddns-update-style none;

default-lease-time 6000;
max-lease-time 7200;

subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 192.168.0.10 192.168.0.32;
}

Can you send your syslog contents? What kind of error occurs ?
As an option, you can run dhcpd in foreground with -f flag and see output

when i use services app to start dhcpd it has a generic failure with no description..
but if i run it from terminal it says some copyrigth stuff, then says 0 leases to 0 files..
then listenens on my device and starts sending on it, then sends on socklet fallback..
it stays at that point, sdoes that mean it is running?

ok, I'm still having this issue of the service failing.. ive tried reinstalling dhcpd and ive tried several configurations. Is it possible it's my network settings?

ok, the problem was solved by running the command from term

/usr/sbin/dhcpd -d -f -cf /etc/dhcpd.conf
