The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Can't Get DHCP to Start on Fedora Core 4

Asked by vtjp1 in Linux Networking

Tags: fedora, dhcp, listen, core

I can't get DCHPD service to start on Fedora Core 4
I have the NIC for the internal network set to IP 192.168.0.1 /24

This what the /etc/dhcpd.conf file looks like:
ddns-update-style interim;
ignore client-updates;

subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {

# --- default gateway
        option routers                  192.168.0.1;
        option subnet-mask              255.255.255.0;

#       option nis-domain               "domain.org";
#       option domain-name              "domain.org";
        option domain-name-servers      192.168.0.1;

        option time-offset              -18000; # Eastern Standard Time
#       option ntp-servers              192.168.1.1;
#       option netbios-name-servers     192.168.1.1;
# --- Selects point-to-point node (default is hybrid). Don't change this unless
# -- you understand Netbios very well
#       option netbios-node-type 2;

        range dynamic-bootp 192.168.0.128 192.168.0.254;
        default-lease-time 21600;
        max-lease-time 43200;

        # we want the nameserver to appear at a fixed address
        host ns {
                }
}


This is the output I get when I try to start the "dhcpd start" command

exiting.

This is what the /etc/sysconfig/dhcpd file looks like:
DHCPDARGS=dev727


I am not sure if this is important but I added the second NIC after I had loaded the OS and it gave the nic the name: dev727. Is there any way to change it to eth1?

If you could help me get this service started it would be greatly appreciated.
