I have a Debian VM on Windows that is not getting an IP address assigned by the DHCP. I tried, ifdown eth0 and then ifup eth0 and still no IP address. my interfaces file looks like this:
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).
# The loopback network interface
I'm using Ubuntu 9.10, and I want DHCP to assign an IP address automatically. I can ping my router, and get a reply. I just have no idea how to do this.I'm trying to get my Ubuntu machine onto my Windows network.
Although Im using SuSE since 7.2 this is my first forum post here. I just plugged in my iPhone with USB and 11.4 created an eth1 interface for the iPhone and also loads the ipheth kernel module. Anyhow I am not able to acquire an IP address using DHCP. The iPhone OS is 4.2.1 and its an iPhone 3G 8GB black
I get assigned an IP from the university's server. Every now and then, a student will plug in his router to the network trying to get wifi in his/her room.
And by doing so will start assigning IPs on the network, while rendering useless the university dhcp server, which has to cope with a higher number of pc's.
How can I specify to dhclient (or the linux system in general) NOT TO obtain IP addresses given by a specific mac address ?
I'm running gnome desktop on squeeze system. When I boot my system seems to be using my internet modem as its dhcp server. The rest of the machines on my lan are correctly using my router for that purpose. As a result, what happens then is that my debian machine frequently gets a duplicate ip address assigned to it. I would like to specify to my debian computer that I want it to use the specific fixed ip address of my router for dhcp purposes.
I am puzzled with trying to configure a linux (openSUSE) client to dhcp to eBox DHCP server. I am using dhclient to lease an IP address with dhclient eth0 -s 10.45.48.108 and get a response
openSUSE11232CL1 dhclient: DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 to 10.45.48.108 port 67 interval 4 openSUSE11232CL1 dhclient: DHCPOFFER from 10.45.48.108 openSUSE11232CL1 dhclient: DHCPREQUEST on eth0 to 10.45.48.108 port 67 openSUSE11232CL1 dhclient: send_packet: Network is unreachable openSUSE11232CL1 dhclient: send_packet: please consult README file regarding broadcast address.
The server reports eBox141 dhcpd: DHCPDISCOVER from 00:0c:29:3e:57:a3 (openSUSE11232CL1.domain.net) via eth0 eBox141 dhcpd: DHCPOFFER on 10.45.200.2 to 00:0c:29:3e:57:a3 (openSUSE11232CL1.domain.net) via eth0
I interpret this as the server receives the request and the client accepting it but the lease does not last long and the connection breaks. what this could be and why the connection breaks? Or my undestanding is totally wrong on how it works and should work? And BTW, where is that README file that's referenced in the message I receive on the client?
This one has been bugging me for some time now. The network interface (as defined in Debian's /etc/network/interfaces file) fails to obtain an IP address from myuter. However dhclient br0 does.I'm using br0 since I run a XP virtual machine.network/interface changes are from a Debian howto on setting up the tap interface.As near as I can tell, the /etc/init.d/networking script basically calls /sbin/ifup -a. ifup is a binary.My /etc/network/interfaces file is:
I setup the dnsmasq in debian squeeze as dhcp and dns server, for the debian host i assigned the static ip addresses, and configured the xp for dhcp. Windows XP network can't acquire DHCP address from debian squeeze with this error:

Version 10.04 LTS. Installed desktop version and network worked but I needed a static IP address and the install configures for a DHCP configured address. I tried changing to static address using the System->Preferences->Network Connections application but was unable to get the system to come up with the network up.
So I manually modified the /etc/network/interfaces and the /etc/resolv.conf files. I restart the system but when I do an ifconfig, I don't see a configured IP address on eth0 (only the loopback address). If I run /sbin/ifup eth0 everything then works fine and ifconfig shows the correct address bound to eth0.
I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 and I'm having problems trying to assign it a static IP address. No matter what I put in the Preferences->Networking area (identifying the interface as Manual)... it still will query DHCP for an address if I run the dhclient command. I'm using to using ubuntu server where I just set the IP in the interfaces config file.
This is embarrassing. I can't get a wireless address from my router with dhclient. The distribution is sid/lxde/liquorix kernel with no network manager on /dev/sdb1.

I have a network with one of the server machine being under Fedora 14 and the clients machines being under Windows 7 and Fedora 14.
Quite often I get some difficulties for the clients to get an IP address from the dhcp server. If I look at the server logs, it looks like the server sees the requests and sends and answer:

I had 200 workstation with both Windows XP and SuSe Enterprise Linux. Sometime, a few clients can't get IP address from DHCP with SuSe OS. With the same computer, if I reboot and chose Windows XP, it work fine. The log message or the boot message was "No IP Address yet ...backgrounding". I tried to reconfig network device, restart services, change another port, change another line LAN, set static IP Address .... but there's no luck for me.
Is there a way to configure DHCP IP Reservation thru MAC ? eg. {MAC ADDRESS} 192.168.1.23 So, when somebody owns this MAC address leases IP, it will give the one in reservation. Also, for security in mind, DHCP will ONLY lease IP if its MAC address is listed, otherwise, DHCP will NOT give IP.
I've just installed opensuse 11.2 with the network installation iso. During the installation, it has got the IP via DHCP without any problem, and I has downloaded all the needed packets without problems... But when the installation finish.I have no network connection It's strange, because I have IP address, I get the IP from the DHCP server, and I can see the IP addreess if I do "ifconfig", the default route and even the DNS servers in the resolv.conf file; but I cannot ping my gateway (that is the DHCP server as well!!), I cannot ping anything in my network and either anything in internet. I see a network error at the start, but it finally gets the ip address. In the dmesg, the last message repeats over and over. The machine is a Hyper-V virtual machine, but as I said... I worked very well during the installation, I don't know what is going on. I've tried to reinstall, but it doesn't make any difference
Can't change from dhcp to static ip address.I've installed Oracle's version of Linux Redhat 5, but I'm having no success changing from dhcp to a static IP address. My machine is plugged directly into a Belkin router which has the IP address: 192.168.2.1.If I use the gui: /usr/bin/system-config-network and set the network device to dhcp,it works fine. But if I set the IP address manually, I get no internet traffic, and if I ping an internet website, "network unreachable".The installation instructions for Oracle say that they want a full domainname. I've tried gateway.2wire.net. This worked in the last place I did a successful installation.It was the address of my ATT router. If I plunked that into a browser, I got the router configuration.
I would like to define a IPv4LL address (169.254.0.0/16) in parallel with the DHCP address received from the server on the same network card. I tried to modify /etc/network/interfaces to that effect (see below), but either I only manage to get one of the two at any time.
auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto eth0 eth0:1 iface eth0 inet dhcp iface eth0:1 inet ipv4ll
I have a slackware server running ISC dhcpd and bind, and I want to give a dual boot XP / Ubuntu client a fixed address based on its MAC.
I added a host stanza to my server's dhcpd.conf:
Code:
I restarted bind and dhcpd, restarted the client's networking, and it still requests (and receives) its previously leased address, which is not the fixed address I want it to get. I tried dhclient -r to make the client release the old address, didn't help. On networking restart it still gets offered the old (wrong) address. Could it be that dhcpd somehow hangs on to the old lease even after the client sent a DHCPRELEASE?
How do I tell dhcpd to forget about an old lease, and how do I make dhcpd hand out the fixed address (and only that address) I specified for a given MAC, regardless of what the client requests?
I noticed that my internet connection wasn't automatically brought up each time I logged into Fedora so I opened the system-config-network tool and edited my network adapter by checking the box marked "automatically start at boot/login." To my surprise, the connection went down and upon trying to click on the device to let the manager bring up the connection the greyed-out phrase "device not managed" appeared underneath the device name and wouldn't allow me to connect.
Even when I used ifconfig/dhclient to get the connection up nothing happened. I could get the router to assign an IP address through DHCP, pinged a few sites to make sure it was legit, but still couldn't use firefox to browse anything. Seems as if network manager GUI is conflicting with command line attempts to bring the network up. I'd like to permanently disable system-config-network if possible because it's acting screwy!
I would like to create several aliases to eth0, but have the addresses assigned by DHCP instead of being set to static IP's. Is this even possible? All the examples I've seen assign a static IP using the command: ifconfig eth0:0 192.168.1.11 up
I don't really have a reason for this currently. I recognize all the MAC address on my DHCP client list and keep it rather well locked down. I was just wondering if there was something I could run on the terminal to get more information on a given MAC address on my network. Something kind of like whois for websites.
I have an Ubuntu 10.04 server. It gets its IP address by DHCP (the router has a fixed reservation so it always gets the same one). However, it needs its nameserver to be itself, and not the DNS servers given out by the router. How can I make dhcp not overwrite resolve.conf?
(Yes I know I could just set a static IP. But I'm testing stuff out here, and want to know if it can be done without doing that.)
We have a large number of devices on our LAN with the mac prefix of 00:60:60. We want to assign these addresses from a separate address pool. I've created two classes, one to match 00:60:60 and another that I want to contain any other device. When i try to start the server I get:
/etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf line 33: boolean expression expected match if not binary-to-ascii(16,8,":",substring(hardware, 1, 3)) ^#this carrot should be under the last parenthesis# Configuration file errors encountered -- exiting
Here is the relevant section of /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf
class "006060" { match if binary-to-ascii(16,8,":",substring(hardware, 1, 3)) = "00:60:60"; }
[Code].....
I've tried a few variations on that line. I've spent days trying to find any examples of "match if not" and haven't found anything. I assume it's going to be something to do with parenthesis/quote placement. Oh and this is ISC DHCP Server V3.0.4.
I have an Ubuntu Server 10.04.1 that I have given a static IP address. Every six hours or so I will lose connectivity to it and when I type ifconfig to look at the network information, it has been given an address via dhcp. If I run the /etc/init.d/networking restart command the IP address goes back to my static address and things are fine for another 6 hours or so. Here is what is in my interfaces file:
auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 10.60.82.15 netmask 255.255.0.0 broadcast 10.60.255.255 gateway 10.60.254.254
This machine is also a DHCP server and I checked to make sure there are no other DHCP servers on my network. Right now my fix is to have a Cron job running that runs the reset command every 5 hours, but I would like to find a more permanent solution.
I want to setup 1Gbps our lab network and we purchased 'Buffulo Giga layer switch ' with 24ports. Is there a way to tell DHCP to assign specific IP to a particular MAC address of a machine ? We want to use DHCP and whatever the port we use ,it should have same IP ..
I am attempting to get this network card running under CentOS 5.2 but have had no luck. Some sites say to use the sk98lin driver, others the skge, which I can't find at all. I have tried multiple versions of the driver in rpm but none seem to work. The card shows under the network manager but will not get an IP address from the DHCP server.

How to get this working as we have 3 of these cards for computers without a Gb NIC and I don't want to fight with it 3 separate times.
