Comments on How To Set Up A DHCP Server For Your LAN

How To Set Up A DHCP Server For Your LAN This tutorial describes how to set up a DHCP server (ISC-DHCP) for your local network. DHCP is short for "Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol", it's a protocol that handles the assignment of IP addresses, subnet masks, default routers, and other IP parameters to client PCs that don't have a static IP address. Such computers try to find a DHCP server in their local network which in turn assigns them an IP address, gateway, etc. so that they can connect to the internet or other computers from the local network.

You can add option -n to netstat to show port and IP numbers, like this:

 # netstat -uapn

Active Internet connections (servers and established)

Hi couldn`t even begin :

 

sudo apt-get install dhcp3-server Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree        Reading state information... Done Package dhcp3-server is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source E: Package 'dhcp3-server' has no installation candidate
