In case it helps here's dhcpd.conf

Code: Select all

# dhcpd.conf

option domain-name "thedock.no-ip.org";
option domain-name-servers 192.168.1.1;
option routers 192.168.1.1;
ddns-update-style ad-hoc;
default-lease-time 2952000;

subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
  range 192.168.1.2 192.168.1.253;
}

/etc/conf.d/dhcp is listening on the correct interface (eth0)

you may be turning on CONFIG_NETFILTER in menuconfig instead of CONFIG_FILTER. Try selecting Socket Filters in menuconfig to turn on CONFIG_FILTER.

this is still driving me crazy

I tried emerging dhcp again, no changes.
