DHCP configuration

[Don Dupy]

Yeah, the dhcp man files you fine are pretty bleek.
I found a very helpful tutorial online.
www.linuxhomenetworking.com there you can buy a .pdf file of basic
linux setup for alot of the most common services. cost is a whopping $5
worth every penny!!

my dhcpd.conf looks something like this:

# rokit dhcpd.conf 11-28-03

ddns-update-style interim;
default-lease-time 3600;
max-lease-time 3600;
subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
option routers 192.168.0.1;
range 192.168.0.200 192.168.0.205;
option broadcast-address 192.168.0.255;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
option domain-name-servers 192.168.0.5;
option domain-name "mydomain.net";

host xp1   {
         hardware ethernet 00:40:f4:64:cf:6e;
         fixed-address 192.168.0.20;

}
host rf-ap {
         hardware ethernet 00:60:1d:1d:6d:9e;
         fixed-address 192.168.0.15;

}
host vaio {
         hardware ethernet 00:02:2d:60:7f:4c;
         fixed-address 192.168.0.25;

}
host thumper {
         hardware ethernet 00:60:97:3d:35:d7;
         fixed-address 192.168.0.30;
}

}

This should do the basic dhcp that you are looking for.
I have assigned static addresses to my boxes on my network
thus the lines with the MAC Addresses and fixed address.
