DHCP Errors

I use a dynamic IP, so I have been trying to get DHCP working.  I changed the interface line in rc.conf to this: eth0="dhcp" just like the Networking Wiki says.  I also made sure that I have dhcp and dhcpcd installed.  When I installed dhcpcd there was no message telling me that I needed to add it to the daemons for it to work, but because dhcpcd is a daemon, I assumed I needed to and so it is now in my daemons list in rc.conf. 
When I start the computer, right after syslog-ng loads, I get this error: "/etc/rc.multi : line 16 : /etc/rc.d/dhcpcd: No such file or directory"  Then network starts loading, takes much longer than it usually does, and finally stops to give this error: "Error, eth0 : timed out"
I made sure dhcp and dhcpcd are installed by updating both of them.  Do I need to create a /etc/rc.d/dhcpcd file myself?  What can I do about either of these errors?

You needn't add dhcpd to your daemons line in rc.conf. Remove it. Double check your rc.conf settings against the network wiki entry. Make sure  it looks something like this:
lo="lo 127.0.0.1"
eth0="dhcp"
INTERFACES=(lo eth0)
ROUTES=(!gateway)
(Notice the ! bang in front of ROUTES=(!gateway))

  • Dhcp error getState serveradmin_dhcp plug-in module

    Hi!
    I have a 10.8.2 server serving netinstall images DHCP and SUS. Suddenly it stopped serving IP addresses, and after checking in Server.app I got an error "An error occurred on the server while processing a command. The error occurred while processing a command of type 'getState' in plug-in 'servermgr_dhcp'.
    I ga see in the log for the DHCP service that its in fact recieveing ACKS from devices but i cannot view connected clients och see the status of the DHCP service in Server.app, version 2.1.1 to be clear...
    It also seems like the netinstall service is having difficulties serving clients.
    No change was made to the server, but there war a pending update, the small update to 10.8.2 ver 1.0 interim update. I applied it, but nothing changed. Still same problem as before. As an attempt to fix this I removed the /var/bootpd.plist and let the service recreate it. it populated with old data?!? Where did that come from?
    I then proceeded to deleting Server.app and emptying the trash, rebooted and reinstalled Server.app from App Store. config showed successful, and then the same error in Aerver.app. what is the cause of this, and more importantly, what is the fix? can I somehow reset the DHCP service? And where are all files associated with the service so I can delete them and have them recreated?

    I had same problem with:
    the error occurred while processing a command of type "getState" in plugin 'servermgr_dhcp'
    and serverapp crash.
    In terminal running:
    sudo serveradmin status dhcp
    It did said it was running, stopped the dhcp service in terminal
    sudo serveradmin stop dhcp
    Went to folder
    /var/db/
    did a copy to my desktop of file: dhcpd_leases
    then deleted the file from /var/db/dhcpd_leases
    Start Dhcp service in terminal:
    sudo serveradmin start dhcp
    Everythings seems to work

    Several points here:

    2. The error message shows that this file is supposed to be in the user profile ('C:\Users\***\AppData\Local\Temp\2\kyaueu3j.dll'). This implies that, the issue should be related to the user profile.
    3. Most likely, something was loaded here which was trying to locate this file. "At line:1 char:25" This should be a file, in which the reference of kyaueu3j.dll is located.
    Therefore, I am suggesting the followings, step by step:
    a. Scan your system using anti-virus tools, and make sure there is no Virus/Spyware, etc.
    b. Try to create a new user account on the machine, and log on using the new user account, and try to perform the same action. What happens?
    c. Use Process Monitor to identify which process was trying to locate kyaueu3j.dll. Then, use Process Explorer and check what files are loaded by this process. Check those files. Very likely, one of the files should contain the reference of kyaueu3j.dll,
    in line 1. Both tools can be found here:

  • Routing and Remote Access VPN DHCP error

    I have a strange problem.
    I have a client that is using Server 2012 Standard.
    On this server they have Routing and Remote Access configured for VPN client access. Their users that are working outside the office connect to the VPN to access the internal network.
    The VPN works fine for the most part. Recently however, it has started having issues.
    Periodically (about once every 8 days) I will hear from them that they cannot connect and that they get error 720. I will check the server and the server will have the following errors in the event log:
    Warning: No IP address is available to hand out to the dial-in client.
    If you check DHCP the server is running fine and will hand out local addresses but it will not hand out addresses to VPN clients. Also the addresses that it HAS previously handed out to VPN clients will not show in the address leases.
    The solution strangly enough is to disconnect and reconnect a the VPN client connection that the server has connecting it to a offsite server that it does a SQL sync with.
    Any ideas as to what might be causing this? If need be I can post more detailed logs but I am not sure what logs even to post or what data to collect.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    I am experiencing the same issue on a Windows 2008R2 SP1 RAS server. The above statement About increasing the lease time on DHCP does not resolve the problem.
    I am also Searching for a Solutions to this issue.
    Up to now I have done the Following :
    1. Increased the scope/ cleared IP's in DHCP.
    2. Ensure that the DHCP server is accessable.
    3. Created a Manual Scope on RRAS configurations settings (then clients can connect but cannot access resources on the network). Changing Back to DHCP, you recieve the same 720 Error.
    4. Stop and started the DHCP services on the DHCP Server.
    5. Stop and Started RRAS Services on RRAS server.
    The Only Indication is, that DHCP for some reason does not lease out Addresses to the RRAS server..

  • Wireline DHCP Error 169.254.x.x

    Hi,
    I just bought a used WRT54G V.2. 
    I tried to connect my computer to one of the wireline port (no wan, no wireless) but DHCP don't seems to work. It's stuck in "Acquire Network Address" status and then notifies me that I have a limited connection (...), and end up with an 169.254.x.x address and mask of 255.255.0.0. So I can't ping the unit or access the management page.
    I tried the hard reset thing (push reset and hold, connect power meanwhile, hold reset again for 30 seconds and release). The unit starts with the Power LED flashing and DMZ lighted up. After releasing reset, it doesn't reboot on its own and even if I unplug the power and get it back, I got the same error.
    Is there a way to resolve this ? Do I miss something in the hard reset ?
    Is my unit good for garbage ?
    Please, advice !
    Thanks

    if the Power LED is flashing and the DMZ light is ON try an hard reset by holding down the reset button for 1min then unplug the power cable of router first and then release reset button. Wait for 10 secs and plug in the power cable of router.
    if still you have the same light status, it could be possible that the router is dead.

  • [SOLVED] DHCP error during install due to multiple net cards

    Hello all,
    At the "Setup Network" option during the installation, I choose eth0. Then it asks if I want to use DHCP. I select 'Yes' but get
    Failed to run dhcpcd. See /dev/tty7 for details
    while polling for DHCP. So I press Alt+F7 and the details are
    eth0: dhcpcd 4.0.10 starting
    eth0: waiting for carrier
    eth0: timed out
    When I try to manually set it up (ie select 'No' when asked if I want to use DHCP), it asks for the following: IP address, submask, broadcast, Gateway (optional), DNS Server. Then it says "Network is configured" but I still can't download the packages.
    I have a Realtek RTL8139 Family PCI Fast Ethernet NIC card (not wireless) to a Linksys Router. I've set up DHCP on it for 5 users (only two being used). By the way I have WinXP on the same computer which accesses the network fine, and net access also worked during other distros' installation.
    Any clues? Thanks.

    Sorry I was maybe a little bit unclear on my previous post, but I'm pretty sure that I don't have an IP address during installation. I would like to add some precisions. Here are my observations:
    When I type ifconfig immediately after login (as root), it shows
    lo Link encap:Local loopback
    inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask 255.0.0.0
    UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1
    RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
    TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
    collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
    RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)
    Then when I run /arch/setup, Configure Network, answer 'Yes' to DHCP, and after the error message (the one on 1st post), ifconfig gives this (which clearly shows that I do NOT have an IP)
    eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:00:39:63:8C:EE
    UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
    RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
    TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
    collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
    RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)
    lo Link encap:Local loopback
    inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask 255.0.0.0
    UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1
    RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
    TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
    collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
    RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)
    Finally, when I answer 'No' to the DHCP question, and after I've entered my IP/Broadcast/Subnet Mask/DNS addresses, the result of ifconfig is the one on the previous post, that is
    eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:00:39:63:8C:EE
    inet addr:172.30.201.6 Bcast:172.30.201.255 Mask 255.255.255.0
    UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
    RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
    TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
    collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
    RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)
    lo Link encap:Local loopback
    inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask 255.0.0.0

    collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
    RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)
    NB: I have entered the same addresses that I use normally (ie with Windows, the ones I see in cmd->ipconfig /all), but I could have entered whatever addresses I wanted. And I still don't have net access during install (ping does not return anything).
    Can you explain what are you doing to install Linux? Do you try to run the CD from within Windows or are you placing the CD in the CD bay and re-booting the machine and the CD fails?
    Of course I am booting the cd at startup (not within windows)! And the CD does not fail, or at least does not seem. Everything runs fine except the DHCP thing. So the problem is not the CD, but my computer. I'm finding a way to get DHCP working during the installation.

  • DHCP Error with WLC 2504 and Aironet 2600 setup across subnets

    Hey guys
    I have just setup a new WLC 2504 controller to manage a WiFi service that will span 6 geographic locations.  The local networks at each location are on different subnets (all 192.168.x.x) and are linked up via IPSEC VPN links, and there is Active Directory spanning the sites, with DNS and DHCP servers running at each location.
    I tested the WLC at our main office with a single AP, and it worked fine.  The AP set itself up, and wireless devices connect with no probs. Great!  Yesterday I headed out to one of our remote sites, and connected an AP to their network - and that seemed to work fine too.  Within a few minutes I was able to see the WiFi network I'd setup, and my smartphone connected to it straight away (as I'd rpeviously connected at the main office), so I was pretty happy that all was working well.
    This morning however I've had notification that wifi performance at the remote site isn't great.  I've got someone to check their ip address, and I've found that their IP address and default gateway match the LAN at the main office where the WLC is based - NOT the LAN where the wireless client is.  Obvioulsy this is not ideal!
    So I guess my question is, what have I done wrong?  (I guess I HAVE done something wrong!?).  And how can I get wireless clients at remote sites to pick up an IP from the DHCP server at THEIR site?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated! 
    Thanks!           

    Hello Tim,
    What mode your APs are in? Local mode? or FlexConnect mode?
    If local mode, then all the traffic will be tunnelled to the WLC and they'll be same as if you are connecting from the WLC location.
    If you use FlexConnect APs (which is recommended for remote sites) you can configure FlexConnect groups on the WLC and add each location in a specific group. In that group you can decide what VLAN the users should be in.
    Check this link for FlexConnect group configuration

  • Invalid 169.* IP Address  (DHCP error)

    Hi,
    At my company we have a 3com wireless and I can connect but I cannot get a valid ip address. I have already tried that:
    - Reset networking settings.
    - ifconfig en0 (down/up)
    - changing the MTU to 1400
    - reboot the iPhone
    - DHCP and Static IP (valid one)
    My wireless is channel 6, ap mode 2 and WEP.
    If I go to other places ( house, restaurants etc) I can easily connect!
    Tks for any idea.
    Regards,
    Fernando

    As you no doubt know, 169.* is a self-assigned address when DHCP doesn't work.
    I haven't found any good way around that, but I'm replying to at least sympathize.
    1) Rebooting the company router might work.
    2) If you meant a static IP also failed to connect, that sounds more like a passcode mismatch or something. Is it a secured network?
    Luck!

  • Itunes 11.1.5 dhcp error - internal display, macbook pro

    Hello all. I have just updated iTunes from version 11.1.13  to version 11.1.5 running on OSX 10.8.5 on an early 2011 Macbook pro. Prior to update, all videos, movies and other DRM material played properly (in HD) without issue. After the update, the client receives the dreaded HDCP error message, and refuses to play any previously purchased videos/movies in HD, or alternately, attempts playback with garbled pink pixelated video and sound for 2-3 seconds, and then throws the HDCP dialog. SMC resets do not solve the problem, and even downgrading to version 11.1.02 by full removal of iTunes and all support files and clean install of 11.1.02 does not work.
    Has anyone else here encountered this rather bizarre behavior, and is there a workaround I can recommend? I would really appreciate any expert advice as this is the first time I have encountered this apparent bug, and there does not seem to be a functional fix described anywhere on the 'ol interwebs.

    Hello,
    I have 2 latest model mac minis, and I have gotten this error message whether running mountain lion or mavericks.  After endless frustration, and tech support stumped, unfortunately, the only thing I find that helps is after restarting the mac, just view your videos with quicktime.  I have found itunes to be riddled with errors, and only use it with syncing my mobile devices.  With a HUGE library of HD movies and shows ripped from BD's, housed on our 22 TB movie library, we have had the most success just using itunes as a "permission" to view our friendly "Your Apple Only" protected materials, and sourcing the rest of our library elsewhere and just using quicktime to view.  It doesnt fix iTunes, but that is impossible. Itunes is trying to be too many different types
    Of applications.  Good luck.

  • Rv180 dhcp error

    I just rolled my home network over from an ASA 5510 to an RV180. I have one problem with it.
    There are 4 Vlans
    1     172.16.202.1/24
    10     192.168.1.1/24
    11     172.16.1.254/24
    12     172.24.3.254/24
    I had noticed during the setup process that vlan 11 and 12 had defaulted to a /16 after being setup as a /24. I was able to change vlan 12 to a /24. It is now handing out the correct IP's. I tried the same thing for vlan 11 it shows that it is changed in the web UI but it hands out /16. I deleted the vlan and recreated it and it does the same thing. I adjusted my network so that everything now works but it shouldn't be that way.
    On a side not i noticed that the WAN traffic meter the max bandwidth only goes up to 97.655273GB. Isn't the point of the meter so that it can be used with ISP caps? Most caps are around 250GB. Also under the when limit reached the only options are block all traffic or black all traffic except e-mail. What you just want to be notified.

    So Using your suggestion I looked and saw it was how you stated it should be but still wasn't working so I tried deleting the .plist all together in hopes a new one will be created, Which was and it turned on no problems!!!
    Now the second part of it is i cant get now is whenever I connect from a USB modem to the airport they connect and work fine but i get disconnected on my blackberry as soon as i send out a lease to my iphone or ipod.
    i have Leopard server on my MacBook Pro as it is an older one i keep at home and use for a wireless network and have built my own wiki and it is my central media computer and just now wondering why my blackberry disconnects as soon as a lease is sent.
    thanks

  • WDSclient: an Error Occurred while obtaining an IP from DHCP server

    My WDS has been working for a month now. A few days ago, My WDS service just stop working. I tried everything to get back up an running. Nothing worked. I removed the role and re-add it. It worked for a few more days and then the service just stop working
    again. Tried everything again to try to fix it, But nothing worked. Removed the role again and re-add it. Now when I boot up into PXE and select my Boot option, I am getting an error "WDSclient an Error occurred while obtaining an ip address from the
    dhcp". Plug my laptop into the port and was able to get an IP address. Some of the forums say it's a driver issue. The driver where working just fine before. I did make a new driver package to see if that would work. Nothing. I did try this http://www.broexperts.com/2014/12/solution-dhcp-error-in-wds-server-2008-r2/,
    Didn't work.
    I am on Server 2012 R2 and SCCM is on the same server (I don't know if that has anything to do with it. The PXE has been disabled on it)

    Hi matkat1,
    Some folk meet your similar case when then use NIC driver from DELL, you can try to update the BISO then monitor this issue again, if it not work please removed the Switch and

  • Can't boot HDD. "PXE-M0F: Exiting Intel PXE ROM." Error

    Hello, and thank you in advance for your help.
    My Toshiba Satellite U840 is receiving the following error at startup:
    Check cable connection!
    PXE-M0F: Exiting Intel PXE ROM.
    No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key
    I had a Hitachi HTS545050B9A300 (S1) Hard drive which no longer worked (DIsk was making a click, and S.M.A.R.T. said it was bad)
    So far I have gotten into setup by holding f2 at startup. The boot tab reads:
    1. HDD/SSD (Seagate) ST500LT012-9WS142 (S1) (It's a brand new disk I bought)
    2. USB
    3. LAN Atheros Boot Agent
    I have also tried disconnecting the battery and harddrive and then reconnecting them, it doesn't work. I've tried connecting to the internet directly with a cable and it gives me a DHCP error. At the beginnning, the HDD appeared on the list of hard drives to install Windows 7. It gave a "hardware error" at the end and it didn't let me install it. Then, it asked me to place a RAID 1 disk pressing Ctrl+I with a 30 GB hard drive, and now all I can see is that 30 GB hard drive but I can't even install it there.
    I've tried with Hiren's disk. The mini Windows XP doesn't show the HDD. The linux distro does, but when I want to see the partitions, it gives an error on Linux on the whole screen with a bunch of words and it just stays there.

    What is the full model and operating system?
    What are the Bios settings?
    Are you using recovery media or a stand alone install of windows 7 ?
    If you are changeing to windows 7 from windows 8 there are Bios changes that need to be done before it will let you boot and it will give you this error.

  • I need to renew DHCP Licence every 20 minutes or so.  Any ideas?

    About once every few months, there is a span of a few days that I need to renew the DHCP Licence every 20 minutes or so to get onto the internet.  Then, everything works, but the DHCP error moves to another computer.  There are 5 computers at my work.  From the router, the signal goes into a gigabit switch, where it is piped into three different rooms.  In the room where we have the most problems, or we seem to as it's the main work room, the signal goes into another gigabit switch, which connects two computers and the Airport Extreme.  The DHCP error happens on the wired computers, a PowerMac G5 and a G4, and the Mac Book, connected to the Airport.  All the computers are running 10.4.11.
    Any ideas on how we can avoid this procedure every few months?  Thanks.

    Someone correct me if I'm wrong, it's been a while since I read about it, when a device connects using DHCP to a DHCP server it first asks if it can use the IP address it used previously and the DHCP server will reply yes or no (and supply a new Ip address).
    There are a number of areas where confusion can occur, if the device ignores the new IP address from the DHCP server, or if the server (incorrectly/ says yes when it should have said no, perhaps for the wrong reasons, ie. the IP address requested is outside the range set aside for DHCP allocation. A flaky DHCP server may do this.
    Has the configuration recently been altered ? New firmware for any of the routing devices, not just the AirPort. Or the configuration altered ?
    Or are there 2 DHCP servers, or 2 servers offering DHCP services ? This doesn't have to be an issue if the ranges do not overlap, but if they do you may see what you are experiencing.
    I changed my DHCP range allocation a few months ago to accomodate some new servers in the reserved range at the bottom end, so the servers could have static IP addresses (I'd only reserved 10 initially). What a nightmare with some of the DHCP Macs, most were fine that were up and running at the switch, but others that booted afterwards and those that booted into multiple OS's sometimes refused to initially pick up a new IP address from the correct range. A quick pull of the cable, to get a self-assigned IP and the put it back in seemed to work. AirPort attached devices were the hardest, my router STILL thinks my PBG4 is attached on two IP addresses (it's connected ONLY by AirPort, no Ethernet, etc), 192.168.0.12 and 192.168.0.24. 24 is the correct one but apparently there's a device called PowerBookG4.local on the .12 address. Everything works so I'll sort it at the next power-down of the networking kit in March.
