    dhcp subnet/netmask combination

    Hi,

    I'm trying to run a dhcp server on eth1, but I keep getting the error "bad subnet number/mask combination."

    Can anyone help?

    Here is my dhcpd.conf file:

    default-lease-time 86400;
    max-lease-time 172800;
    log-facility local7;
    ddns-update-style ad-hoc;

    #Basic subnet declaration
    subnet 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
    range 192.168.1.10 192.168.1.15;
    }
    What is wrong with this combination and how can I find the right one?

    Thanks,
    Ewan

    Try changing the subnet to 192.168.1.0
    In a world without walls and fences, who needs Windows and Gates?
