Static ip breaks my DHCP

I have a wrt54gl running Tomato 1.22.
When I access my HDA in the setup->networking tab, and create a static ip,
the DHCP stop working, I had to directly access my Amahi machine to try to restart the DHCP.

Code: Select all

service dhcpd stop
and

Code: Select all

service dhcpd start
. But no joy. I rebooted, and the Dhcp failed again.
I had to re-able the GUI interface to take the static ip off, (I don't know how to take it off with the command shell) then it worked again...

Maybe it's just me...

Salo

there is not a whole lot of error checking in this area :(

name: make sure it's a name that is simple. stick to letters (at least one), numbers.

mac address: in this format 00:11:22:33:44:55 (the command arp in your hda will tell you what systems are out there).

IP: it's a single number N (we only support nets like A.B.C.N).

Thanks Cpg,

Finally the problem was me.

Reread the wiki, and corrected my mistakes.

Thanks

hi we have revamped this area, so it's much better now.

we have an alpha version listed in the /topic of the IRC channel.
i'm not linking to it here because it's alpha and because it will update soon enough, and last but not lease, you are set already :)

thanks for the update.
