Toubleshooting DHCP server
Hi Team,
I have installed 4.3.0-kali1-amd64 on a physical machine. Dual boot with Win7 and Kali Linux.
Followed following steps to setup DHCP server on Kali Linux.
Installing dhcp server:
# apt-get install isc-dhcp-server
Define a static IP for the server
# nano /etc/network/interfaces
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.0.2 # server's IP address
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.0.0
broadcast 192.168.0.255
gateway 192.168.0.1 #router's IP address
Configure DHCP server settings at /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf
# nano /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf
default-lease-time 600;
max-lease-time 7200;
option domain-name-servers 192.168.1.1, 192.168.1.2;
option domain-name "yourdomainname.com";
subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 192.168.0.150 192.168.0.200; #Range of client's IP addresses: 150 to 200
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
option broadcast-address 192.168.0.255;
option routers 192.168.0.1;
}
Restart dhcp-server
# /etc/init.d/isc-dhcp-server restart
Restart eth0
#ifdown eth0
#ifup eth0
Check DHCP-server status
# /etc/init.d/isc-dhcp-server status
isc-dhcp-server.service - LSB: DHCP server

This machine is connected in a private network along with 1 WinXP machine and 1 Win7 machine. Both WinXP and Win7 machines are setup to get dynamic IP addresses.
Did a
ipconfig /release
and
ipconfig/renew
on both Win7 and WinXP machines.
However, these machines are not able to receive a new IP address from the DHCP server running on Kali Linux machine.
Is there some configuration that I am missing to get the DHCP server lease out addresses to clients connected to its network?
Thanks in advance!
