hi all, what i thought was a simple instruction for setting up firestarter has become more difficult than i thought.

ive read instructions on installing dhcp for firestarter and it says to run this command in terminal to install the dhcp software

sudo apt-get install dhcp

and it tells me that theres no software called this, but may be called something else, but ive read a few of these tutorials on the internet and they all say to use the command above.

any ideas?

what i ultimately want is to enable dhcp when setting up firestarter (via the wizard)

im running ubuntu 11.10

cheers

Firestarter is well out of date and not maintained any more

are you trying to do internet sharing?

yep trying to

on a side note, i think it may be because theres no dhcp server configured. so im trying to configure one via this help tutorial

https://help.ubuntu.com/11.10/serverguide/C/dhcp.html

it says, edit /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf and change to the following info


# minimal sample /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf default-lease-time 600; max-lease-time 7200; subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 { range 192.168.1.150 192.168.1.200; option routers 192.168.1.254; option domain-name-servers 192.168.1.1, 192.168.1.2; option domain-name "mydomain.example"; }

but inside my /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf is this


#
# Sample configuration file for ISC dhcpd for Debian
#
# Attention: If /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf exists, that will be used as
# configuration file instead of this file.
#
#

# The ddns-updates-style parameter controls whether or not the server will
# attempt to do a DNS update when a lease is confirmed. We default to the
# behavior of the version 2 packages ('none', since DHCP v2 didn't
# have support for DDNS.)
ddns-update-style none;

# option definitions common to all supported networks...
option domain-name "example.org";
option domain-name-servers ns1.example.org, ns2.example.org;

default-lease-time 600;
max-lease-time 7200;

# If this DHCP server is the official DHCP server for the local
# network, the authoritative directive should be uncommented.
#authoritative;

# Use this to send dhcp log messages to a different log file (you also
# have to hack syslog.conf to complete the redirection).
log-facility local7;

# No service will be given on this subnet, but declaring it helps the
# DHCP server to understand the network topology.

#subnet 10.152.187.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
#}

# This is a very basic subnet declaration.

#subnet 10.254.239.0 netmask 255.255.255.224 {
# range 10.254.239.10 10.254.239.20;
# option routers rtr-239-0-1.example.org, rtr-239-0-2.example.org;
#}

# This declaration allows BOOTP clients to get dynamic addresses,
# which we don't really recommend.

#subnet 10.254.239.32 netmask 255.255.255.224 {
# range dynamic-bootp 10.254.239.40 10.254.239.60;
# option broadcast-address 10.254.239.31;
# option routers rtr-239-32-1.example.org;
#}

# A slightly different configuration for an internal subnet.
#subnet 10.5.5.0 netmask 255.255.255.224 {
# range 10.5.5.26 10.5.5.30;
# option domain-name-servers ns1.internal.example.org;
# option domain-name "internal.example.org";
# option routers 10.5.5.1;
# option broadcast-address 10.5.5.31;
# default-lease-time 600;
# max-lease-time 7200;
#}

# Hosts which require special configuration options can be listed in
# host statements. If no address is specified, the address will be
# allocated dynamically (if possible), but the host-specific information
# will still come from the host declaration.

#host passacaglia {
# hardware ethernet 0:0:c0:5d:bd:95;
# filename "vmunix.passacaglia";
# server-name "toccata.fugue.com";
#}

# Fixed IP addresses can also be specified for hosts. These addresses
# should not also be listed as being available for dynamic assignment.
# Hosts for which fixed IP addresses have been specified can boot using
# BOOTP or DHCP. Hosts for which no fixed address is specified can only
# be booted with DHCP, unless there is an address range on the subnet
# to which a BOOTP client is connected which has the dynamic-bootp flag
# set.
#host fantasia {
# hardware ethernet 08:00:07:26:c0:a5;
# fixed-address fantasia.fugue.com;
#}

# You can declare a class of clients and then do address allocation
# based on that. The example below shows a case where all clients
# in a certain class get addresses on the 10.17.224/24 subnet, and all
# other clients get addresses on the 10.0.29/24 subnet.

#class "foo" {
# match if substring (option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 4) = "SUNW";
#}

#shared-network 224-29 {
# subnet 10.17.224.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
# option routers rtr-224.example.org;
# }
# subnet 10.0.29.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
# option routers rtr-29.example.org;
# }
# pool {
# allow members of "foo";
# range 10.17.224.10 10.17.224.250;
# }
# pool {
# deny members of "foo";
# range 10.0.29.10 10.0.29.230;
# }
#}

its nothing like it :S

so i decided to take a slightly different aproach and tried this way

http://www.basicconfig.com/linuxnetwork/configure_dhcp_server_ubuntu

but its all revolved around the file /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf which doesnt exist even though ive installed dhcp3 (i know this because i have /etc/dhcp3... but no file inside, just another folder labeled "dhclient-enter-hooks.d" with a samba file inside.

is dhcp3 out of date or something? is it not configured for 11.10?

ok through much playing around ive managed to create the file in the folder and add the sample code given, but how do i know what ip addresses and subnet masks to use?
