<tt>Hi list,</tt> <tt>I have a FC3 box with firestarter as the Firewall. We have fiddled with the box and the dhcpd.conf file generated by firestarter to tie ipaddresses to MAC's. The now get an error message saying unable to bind to Ethernet port. Eth0 is our WAN port (no DHCP required) and Eth1 is our LAN port. Below is the dhcpd.conf and the error message.</tt> <tt>Regards</tt> <tt>P configuration generated by Firestarter</tt> <tt>ddns-update-style interim;</tt> <tt>ignore client-updates;</tt> <tt>subnet 10.0.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {</tt> <tt> option routers 10.0.1.1;</tt> <tt> option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;</tt> <tt> option domain-name-servers 139.130.4.4, 139.158.96.12;</tt> <tt> option ip-forwarding off;</tt> <tt> range dynamic-bootp 10.0.1.100 10.0.1.200;</tt> <tt> default-lease-time 21600;</tt> <tt> max-lease-time 43200;</tt> <tt>}</tt> <tt>host he1 {</tt> <tt> hardware ethernet 00:08:BC:00:61:A2;</tt> <tt> fixed-address 10.0.1.10;</tt> <tt>}</tt> <tt>host he2 {</tt> <tt> hardware ethernet 00:08:BC:00:61:A3;</tt> <tt> fixed-address 10.0.1.11;</tt> <tt>Error message</tt> <tt>Internet Systems Consortium DHCP Server V3.0.1 Copyright 2004 Internet Systems Consortium.
