DHCP server not working

Post by Grumpy_feet »

My router is Mynet N600 version 1.11, looking at the the DCHP IP rang, start: 192.168.1.100 end: 192.168.1.NaN, devices don't get IP addresses when connected via ethernet. Wifi is working fine.

Is setting up separate DNS for specific IPs may have caused this?

Potentially. If you can show me what configuration you made, i can advise.

I always advise "gargoyle default reset" then turn things on until the problem comes back.

I edited my dhcp config file similar to this:

config tag 'kids'
list dhcp_option '6,208.67.222.222,208.67.220.220'
config host
option name 'pluto'
option mac 'YOUR DEVICE MAC ADDRESS'
option ip 'YOUR DEVICE ADDRESS ON THE INTERNAL NETWORK'
option tag 'kids'

I had a look at this, and that didn't affect my GUI.
I could make it show "NaN" in the spot you saw by removing the "option limit" from the "config dhcp 'lan'" section.

Have you modified any other parts of the file?

That's the only entries I've added to the file. When going to the GUI, changing the NaN to a number doesn't stick even after saving changing. I edited the file in /etc/config/dhcp to show limits but doesn't show up in the GUI.

Can you provide your entire dhcp config file? And also check the browser developer console for any errors?

Can you also provide your /etc/config/network? Check that one doesn't have any passwords in it first.

Couldn't get it to work so I updated to version 1.12 which resets all the settings and re wrote the entries in /config/dhcp.

All working now.

Thank you.
