Problem with win98 with DHCP SERVER

tahiralijafri · Post by **tahiralijafri** » Sat Dec 17, 2005 8:48 pm

Hi Friends!

I have a configured a DHCP Server on Fedora Core3, its working fine with winxp and win2k, but not with win98. It assigns ip address to win98 clients but am not able to browse through DHCP server.
Server is running dhcp, named and squid
Here is my dhcpd.config file

ddns-update-style interim;
ignore client-updates;
subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {

# --- default gateway
option routers 192.168.0.3;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
option nis-domain "mydomain.com";
option domain-name "mydomain.com";
option domain-name-servers 192.168.0.3, 203.135.0.2, 203.135.1.117, 203.135.0.5;
# option time-offset 5; # Pakistan Standard Time
# option ntp-servers 192.168.1.1;
# option netbios-name-servers 192.168.1.1;
# --- Selects point-to-point node (default is hybrid). Don't change this unless
# -- you understand Netbios very well
# option netbios-node-type 2;

range dynamic-bootp 192.168.0.10 192.168.0.254;
default-lease-time 86400;
max-lease-time 86400;

# we want the nameserver to appear at a fixed address
host ns {
next-server marvin.redhat.com;
hardware ethernet 12:34:56:78:AB:CD;
fixed-address 207.175.42.254;
}
}

why don't you tell us why it can't browse? use tcpdump if you have to.

hi lambda!

Thanks for your reply. I have tried to browse win98 using DHCP server on linux. But its throwing back DNS error. Any suggestions...

what does "browse" mean? what program throws a dns error?

What is the result of
ipconfig
on the win98 machine? This will tell you what has been picked up by it and what hasn't. Since the win2000 machines work its not a problem with your dhcp server.

can you ping the gateway? if yes then its probably a problem with the browser - use firefox !

Hi Ashar!

Thankyou for your kind reply.

Problem is that my win98 client is being assigned Default Gateway, IP Address and DNS server address. I have checked by pinging the default gateway but its not pinging the default gateway. However every thing is assigned to the client by DHCP server.

My dhcp server is working for win2k and winxp without problem.

Please advise.

Dear tahiralijafri,
Salam,

Use this configuration...

Code: Select all

default-lease-time 86400;
max-lease-time 86400;
option nis-domain "mydomain.com";
option domain-name "myndomain.cxm";
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
option broadcast-address 192.168.0.255;
option routers 192.168.0.3;
option domain-name-servers 192.168.0.3, 203.135.0.2, 203.135.1.117, 203.135.0.5;
range dynamic-bootp 192.168.0.10 192.168.0.254;

subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
        range 192.168.0.10 192.168.0.254;
} 

host ns {
next-server marvin.redhat.com;
hardware ethernet 12:34:56:78:AB:CD;

Hello,
tahiralijafri ... if your dhcp server is assiging appropriate IP'S/Gateways to win2k/xp users then it means it's running fine , no need to change your dhcp configuration . just try to figure out the problem with win9x users , check the IP address of win98 users via ipconfig & try to release & renew the ip address & see that error it shows you , does this shows a a dhcpd server kinda error , then probably that client has manually entered the ip address from TCP/IP protocol of ethernet card. hope it works , otherwise try to reconfigure your dhcpd server .... Thanks

Hi Farrukh/Zam!

Thanks for your kind reply, I have done every thing. released the ip then renewd it , no prb in renewing and releasing the ip , Tried the new configuration file sent by Farrukh but still same results, one thing more today ive experienced one xp computer having same problem.

I am running a cable net and in the past i used to assign manual ip addresses to the clients. Now i ve configured some users to dhcp and rest of them are still running on manual configuration.Am using same network for both of them, that is 192.168.0. Can things be better to change network of DHCP SERVER TO 10.0.0 or any other network apart from my manual ips network.

Regards

Hi Farrukh!
Thanks for your kind support, My dhcp is working for win98 now also, had to change dhcp network to 10.0.0.0.

Need your support on iptables.

iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -p tcp --dport 5050 -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE

iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -p tcp -m multiport --dport 5000,5001,5100,5101 -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE

iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -p udp -m multiport --dport 5000,5001,5100,5101 -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE

Looking for support

Dear tahiralijafri,
Salam,

Might be an issue but i do not know why people will not use socks server under linux ?

Squid is Web proxy server. it will let you connect to msn but if your msn dc you will not able to know its connected or disconnected.

Use SS5

Best Regards.
