Installation and Upgrades / Re: Request Help Moving DHCP from Router to eBox

SamK, the reason you can assign multiple address blocks is because you can DHCP 10.10.5.1- to .15 and then have static addresses from .16 to .20, then have dynamic addresses from .21 on up. See?
And I think sixstone is sleeping so you'll have to wait on your answer for how DHCP works.

In my network, I have statically assigned (by the DHCP module) 1.1.0.0/16 network addresses. The guest IP subnet is 2.2.2.0/24. When someone connects, if their MAC address isn't already in the 1.1.0.0/16 DHCP table, then it assigns a 2.2.2.0/24 address. From my knowledge, it doesn't assign these sequentially, it does them randomly within the subnet. And also from my experience, it assigns a high-numbered address like 2.2.2.234 or 2.2.2.247 for example.
If a friend connects in, and I trust his computer, his MAC address will show up on the dashboard, I copy/paste that into the 1.1.0.0/16 network (fixed), and then I save changes. After that I can disconnect the ethernet cable or the wireless connection and reconnect it to the friend's PC/laptop, and they're in.

My recommendation is just let it assign IPs in the 192.169.2.50+ range and then go to your dashboard and start picking out MAC addresses that show up there. Or you can do ifconfig -a or ipconfig /all on the machines which works too for finding MAC addresses. I just did it slowly over time. Anytime I get a new wireless card or wired one, I just hook it up, pull the IP, put it in the table, and it'll statically assign the IP when the lease is gone in 3600 seconds or so.

To help explain, what sixstone means is that when you are statically assigning addresses in the DHCP server, you don't want to have those also dynamically assigned. Since eBox is your DHCP server, it'll know that 192.168.2.2 = some machine you statically assigned an address to so it won't assign it anything else. Which means you don't have to setup a range of IPs which includes 192.168.2.2 because it'll be in your fixed-address list.

I upgraded too. I'm in the IRC channel talking about it.
So,You shouldn't need to. I just restarted my PC. I tried to do a restore through w3m before restarting, but I do not think it actually worked.
It's need restore settings after upgrade eBox??

Installation and Upgrades / Re: PPTP VPN server with Ebox PDC authentication

Well Windows doesn't just use PPTP; that's the least secure connection in it. There's always L2TP/IPsec.

Yes, I know, download the package and install. You guys need a batch filer though that goes in and when you install OpenVPN to directory X, it moves the correct files inside of it. That's one way of helping people out. Took me forever until I realized I had to do that.
What is PPTP compared to OpenVPN? I could look it up but maybe this would be a better explanation for others looking at this thread.

Guess I don't need to worry about it for now then. Javi said they're making one.

Installation and Upgrades / Re: DHCP server not working?
« on: April 26, 2009, 02:26:13 pm »
You shouldn't have to do that at all. You setup a static IP for eth1, then go to the DHCP part and make sure you have eth1 selected. Make sure "search domain" is set to "none" and the other two are on "eBox". From there, you have to go under ranges and set them up. I'm sure you've done all of this and maybe just didn't start the DHCP server.
Here's what mine looks like:
eth3 - I actually statically assigned IPs in this range for the DHCP server to send out based on MAC addresses
DHCP ranges
Interface IP address: 1.1.1.1
Subnet: 1.1.0.0/16
Available range: 1.1.0.1 - 1.1.255.254
eth3:1
DHCP ranges
Interface IP address: 2.2.2.2
Subnet: 2.2.2.0/24
Available range: 2.2.2.1 - 2.2.2.254
To start the DHCP server, first make sure you enabled the module by going to the Modules page, then on the Dashboard, click "start" where it says DHCP server. You shouldn't have to though. If it says it was started properly, and it's still disabled, post again because I probably know what's wrong.

Thanks. It's fine then. Is there a module someone has made that allows for a VPN server Windows can connect to then?

Is it possible to connect to the eBox OpenVPN server using any version of Windows without installing anything special?
If not, are there alternative programs to OpenVPN?

Do you know where I could get a boot image or do you have one I could use?

eBox would be.
I just want to install RedHat Linux into a computer without a CD or DVD-ROM drive. This way I can upload images to eBox in the future without having to take my support disks with me.

And now it's just randomly doing it. I lost my net connection, had to move something to DHCP external, then deleted the gateway, now DHCP is botched.
