Dhcp

[kirim]

new to linux, need help on DHCP
i have one machine with two Nic on, eth0 has a public ip and eth1 for DHCP
DHCP installed and able to assign IP address to PCs in my network. Pinging my default gateway on eth1 is not responding or reply ... what seems to be the problem... appreciate any ideas to try

What's your gateway, eth0 or eth1? What's the output of

ifconfig

? What's the ping command you used?

[kirim]

thanks my ifconfig is as follows

root@ienserver:/home/adminim# ifconfig

What about my other questions?

Your eth1 has an IPv6 address only, no IPv4 address. I think that could be the cause of your problem.

What's in /etc/network/interfaces and /etc/hosts?

[kirim]

i am using Ubuntu 7.04 Fiesty Fawn
thanks this is my network interfaces
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
iface eth0 inet static
address 202.43.9.64
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 202.43.9.1

# The Local Network for Clients
iface eth1 inet dhcp

And this is my host
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
202.43.9.64 ienserver.matangiake.to ienserver.matangiake.to


# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
#::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
#fe00::0 ip6-localnet
#ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
#ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
#ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
#ff02::3 ip6-allhosts

Hm... And where does the eth1:avah device come from?

[kirim]

the eth1:avah device is one of the features in the Network Settings..one for Static, DHCP and Local Zeroconf Network (IPv4 LL) when i selected the Local Zeroconf Network the eth1:avah device appeared as one of the output using ifconfig.... as shown in the previous thread.

I want eth1 to distribute IP to my local network but i cannot. in my network interface conf i configured eth1 with the pool of IPs but still could not work to distribute ips ... any idea.. please advise
thanks

[falko]

Can you try to assign a static IP to eth1? What's the output of

ifconfig

then?
