I'm trying to install a DHCP Server at home.
I've installed the application, configured the dhcpd.conf file, and got the server to start...
It creates the leases file just fine...
It says it's listening on a particular lan card, with a particular IP address and port number...
So, it appears as if it's working...
However, none of the clients that I'm trying to boot can see the DHCP Server...
The server is on a 7.1 RedHat box...
I'm attempting to boot both an HP-UX box and a Sun Solaris box...
Again, neither of these boxes seems to see the Server...
They're all on the same switch, and the Server is plugged into the correct switch port...
What could possibly be wrong?
The IP address of the Server NIC card is: 19x.xxx.xxx.1
The IP address of the subnet is: 19x.xxx.xxx.0
The netmask address is: 255.255.255.0
The broadcast address is: 19x.xxx.xxx.255
The range is: 19x.xxx.xxx.2 19x.xxx.xxx.15
I can ping the 19x.xxx.xxx.0 from the clients, but cannot ping the 19x.xxx.xxx.1, which is the real IP address of the internal NIC card...
And again, neither system can see the Server, when they attempt to obtain an IP address...
Any help would be greatly appreciated...
