[K12OSN] Re: sample dhcpd.conf needed -- and a question

[Bimal Pandit]

Dear Rob,

				------ SNIP -------
the terminal never finds the dhcp server, but knoppix does manage to get
an IP address from it
				------ SNIP -------

seems that your DHCP server is working but need to see why your clients
are not getting it.

1) Network connection(Cable,switch/hub)
2) Lan Card
3) Bootable image

anyway am sending you my dhcpd.conf and hosts, if it helps anyway.

regards,

Bimal Pandit
