    I am running a fedora 10 and need to configure the dhcp server using webmin dhcp and have encountered a Access control violation error. Here is the error message: Error
    Access control violation :

    and my /etc/dhcp.conf :-

    this ddns-update-style none;
    #
    # DHCP Server Configuration file.
    # see /usr/share/doc/dhcp*/dhcpd.conf.sample
    # see 'man 5 dhcpd.conf'

    subnet 10.0.0.5 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
    option broadcast-address 10.10.0.255;
    option routers 192.168.0.1;
    range 10.10.0.10 10.10.0.250;
    }
    My server have two ethernet cards, One connects to the router (192.168.0.10) and the one to my LAN which is 10.0.0.5. how do i recover from this violation error

    You can not give hosts on a 10.0.0.0/24 network a gateway in the 192.168.0.0/24 network it just will not work. The gateway has to be in the same network

    I have edit it and to this and the error vanishs. But if i put the IP address of my LAN with is 10.0.0.5 the access violation error appear as a results i remove the last digit to 10.0.0.0 and it works. Here is the output of the dhcp.conf

    ddns-update-style none;
    #
    # DHCP Server Configuration file.
    # see /usr/share/doc/dhcp*/dhcpd.conf.sample
    # see 'man 5 dhcpd.conf'

    subnet 10.0.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
    option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
    option netbios-name-servers 10.0.0.4;
    option broadcast-address 10.0.0.255;
    option routers 192.168.0.1;
    range 10.0.0.70 10.0.0.99;
    }

    When I start the Dhcp server did not assign ip address, not sure what need to be done

    Your router is in a totally different subnet (192.168.0.x vs. 10.0.0.x).

    All thanks it now working, but now I have add another subnet called programming with other IP network address not working.

    # Graphics Department
    subnet 10.0.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
    default-lease-time 86400;
    option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
    option netbios-name-servers 10.0.0.4;
    option broadcast-address 10.0.0.255;
    range 10.0.0.70 10.0.0.99;
    }
    # Programming
    subnet 193.10.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
    max-lease-time 86400;
    default-lease-time 86400;
    option netbios-name-servers 10.0.0.7;
    option domain-name-servers 10.0.0.5;
    option domain-name "perfectpol7.com";
    option broadcast-address 193.10.0.255;
    option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
    range 193.10.0.100 193.10.0.200;
    }
    This (programming) not assigning ip address and it is on the same LAN

    193.x is no private subnet.
