dhcp3-server

[funkydrummer]

Hello,

I'd like to set up a dhcp server for my home network on my new ubuntu hoary box. Various online tutorials (such as http://www.ubuntuguide.org/) have pointed me to the "dhcp3-server" package which I can't seem to find in any of the standard repositories. I've enabled (uncommented the appropriate lines) all the repositories found by default in my sources.list and have even added ubuntu-backports.mirrormax.net and none of these seem to have the dhcp3-server package. I also can't seem to find it searching the Gnome Synaptic GUI.

apt-get returns "Package dhcp3-server is not available, but is referred to by another package..."

Any suggestions? The howto docs have sufficiently scared me away from installing a standard debian package.

Thanks much.


(BTW if there's a better dhcp server I'm happy to use it. I've just been directed to this dhcp3-server from various places. I did, however, apt-get the standard dhcp package which includes dhcpd, but it didn't appear to support ddns-update options (to update the DNS server) so I removed it.)

Ok nevermind, it turns out there was one more line to uncomment in my sources.list. That one seems to have done the trick. Now if I could only find out how to delete a post...
