how to create dhcp server with suse 9.1 pro


I get this error when I try to start dhcp server with yast,
"Oct 1 18:00:46 linux dhcpd: ** Ignoring requests on eth-id-00:04:ac. If this is not what
Oct 1 18:00:46 linux dhcpd: you want, please write a subnet declaration
Oct 1 18:00:46 linux dhcpd: in your dhcpd.conf file for the network segment"

here is my dhcpd.conf file.
ddns-update-style interim;
ddns-updates on;
log-facility local7;
# No service will be given on this subnet, but declaring it helps the
# DHCP server to understand the network topology.
subnet 192.168.10.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
option routers 192.168.10.1;
option broadcast-address 192.168.10.255;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
option domain-name-servers 192.168.10.19;
option ntp-servers 192.168.10.19;
option netbios-name-servers 192.168.10.19;
default-lease-time 86400;
max-lease-time 86400;
range 192.168.10.20 192.168.10.254;
}

eth-id-00:04:ac. is my eth1 network card that provides the dhcp, and it is confugured as a dynamic adress to 192.168.10.1, subnet 255.255.255.0.

when I confugured this with suse 9.0 pro everything worked fine, I just cand get 9.1 pro to work, and allso how do I declaire device on the subnet, that is what dhcpd.conf wants.

thx..

What interface are you starting the dhcpd process with? By default, the dhcpd process will use the eth0, unless specified. To specify the interface, just add it at the end of the command.

You say that your eth1 address is a dynamic address, yet that is the one that you are using for your dhcp server. Did you mean it is a static address?

If you're still having problems, post the output of ifconfig, as well as the command you use to start dhcpd, and the results of "ps -aux |grep dhcp"
