DCHP server and a NIS question

[Floppyman]

Hi all,

I have DCHP server setup that assinges IP's from 10.0.1.1 to 10.0.1.250. However it starts assigning from the back to the front of the range. E.g. the first machine gets IP 10.0.1.249. Is there anyway I get it to assign from the front i.e. the first machine gets ip 10.0.1.1?

Also, can someone quick tell me in wich file I setup the NIS domain in a NIS client?

Thanks in advance.

I never tried this but what if in the dhcpd.conf file you change the "range" from..

range 10.0.1.1 10.0.1.250;


to this..


range 10.0.1.250 10.0.1.1;




To set a NIS domain add this into the dhcpd.conf file..

option nis-domain "mynet.net";

Troubles with the mini-resnet, eh? DHCP messing with your IP addressing scheme?:D

Once you get that thing up and running I'm coming over there and plugging my laptop in if your downloads are faster though;)

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. I tried what you suggested, but it did not work. Does anyone else have any more ideas?

Also, does anyone know what file I configure the NIS domain name in on the clients?

TIA.
