[olug] dhcpd.conf help

[Nate Rotschafer]

I just found out yesterday that setting global options caused me a lot
of problems...I suggest putting all options in the specific subnet DHCPD
area and trying it...(was migrating DHCP and DNS off of a Win2k machine
to a debian box for all you anti-M$ people)

Thanks,
Nate

Subject: [olug] dhcpd.conf help

I'm trying to setup a DHCP server for the first time on my home network.

I'm running RH 7.3 and using DHCPD (Internet Software Consortium DHCP 
Server V3.0pl1). I've been able to start the server, but when I try to
pull 
an IP with Win 2000, I don't get one. The leases file shows a lease, and

the ipconfig /all results shows the IP of the DHCP server, but no
address. 
I have a feeling I'm missing something in my dhcpd.conf file. Any ideas?

default-lease-time 600;
max-lease-time 7200;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
option broadcast-address 10.0.0.255;
option routers 10.0.0.1;
option domain-name-servers 68.13.16.30, 68.9.16.30;
ddns-update-style ad-hoc;
subnet 10.0.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
    range 10.0.0.40 10.0.0.50;
}

Thanks,
