How to enable dhcp server on my mac

I am using OSX10.5 and I am wondering if there is some way to enable it to be a dhcp server for other devices on my home network?

Do you have a hardware router? If so the router handles DHCP serving. If you don't have a router but connect directly to a cable or DSL modem, then you can use Internet Sharing. Select Mac Help from the Finder's Help menu and search for "internet sharing" without quotes. You will find an article that tells you how to set that up on your computer.

  • How to use "DHCP Server"?

    Hi,
    I don't know how to use DHCP Server.
    #Features > Networking > Network Management > DHCP Server
    There seems to be no item to setting a DHCP Server in the Administrative Tools.
    Is there function to which installation is necessary to use DHCP Server.
    Thanks,

    DHCP server role is typically for Windows Server, but you can get some DHCP capability when you enable Internet Connection Sharing -http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-networking/make-windows-7-act-as-a-dhcp-server/8ff345f2-99b5-4670-bb6f-32d7bb63de3c

  • SF300-48P gets error message trying to enable DHCP server in unit

    We have a SF300-48P that has been used as a dumb switch.  The network is currently a peer-to-peer with all 30 devices (mixed desktop computers and some printers) having a fixed IP assigned or selected in them.  While trying to add a NAS device the device reported it needed a DHCP connection.  So, checking, I found that the latest firmware for the SF300 has a DHCP server inside it.  (At least that's what I get out of the "features" commnets.)  I downloaded the firmware from Cisco and upgraded the firmware to ver. 1.3.0.62.  I changed the password as required and then went to the "IP configuration".  I tried to check the box for "enable DHCP server" but got an error message something like  "must unplug all DHCP devices".  So I unplugged everthing from the switch except one computer with the IP fixed as 192.168.1.149 and tried to enable the DHCP server again.  But, I got the same error.
    Does the SF300 have a DHCP server internally with the ver 1.3.0.62 firmware?  (or, did I misread the meaning?)
    If the SF300 can be used as a DHCP server how do I go about enabling it?
       ( I am a complete n00b when it comes to networking so I will require some step-by-step guidance.)

    Hi Terry, the switch must be operating in layer 3 mode. Additionally, any vlan interface created must have a static IP address. The error you received is most likely because the default vlan or any other vlan does not have a static IP (assuming you're in layer 3 already)

  • How to replace DHCP server from domainA with DHCP from domainB?

    Hello fellow Administrators,
    We have one remote site with one subnet. There's domainA domain controller and about 100 domainA's client computers in that subnet. We're about to send 100 domainB's client computers there as well.
    There's also domainA's DHCP server running on the same subnet. DHCP scope options include domainA's domain name, gw and domainA's DNS server addresses.
    DomainA and DomainB belongs to separate forests and there's two-way trust between them. DomainA DNS has stubzone for DomainB and DomainB has stubzone for domainA. That's how
    clients can resolve hostnames of other domain.
    All domainA's clients in remote site will be replaced gradually with domainB's client computers, but this can take a long time.
    I want to note, that I cannot create second subnet for domainB at the moment.
    At some point, we need to deploy DHCP server to domainB's member server in the remote site. What are the steps I should take to replace existing domainA's DHCP server with domainB's DHCP server while still allowing clients from domainA and domainB to successfully
    find domain controller of their own domain and being able to resolve hostnames from both domains?

    When the devices on your network first request an IP address or reach the end of their leases (or you force them to check their lease is still valid) they will simply
    broadcast a request for a DHCP server, and will accept an offer from the first DHCP server
    to reply. 
    Multiple DHCP servers PT 1: Spanning multiple subnets.
    If you have several VLANs or physical network segments that are separated into different subnets, and you want to provide a DHCP service to devices in all those subnets then there are two ways of doing this.
    If the router / layer 3 switch separating them can act as a BOOTP/DHCP relay agent, then you can continue to keep all your DHCP server(s) in one or two central parts of your network and configure your DHCP server(s) to support multiple ranges of addresses.
    In order to support this, your router or layer 3 switch must support the BOOTP relay agent specification covered in section
    4 of RFC 1542.
    If your router does not support RFC 1542 BOOTP relay agents, or if some of your network segments are geographically dispersed over slow links, then you will need to place one or more DHCP server in each subnet. This ‘local’ DHCP server will only serve its own
    local segment’s requirements, and there is no interaction between it and other DHCP servers. If this is what you want then you can simply configure each DHCP server as a standalone server, with the details of the address pool for its own subnet, and not worry
    about any other DHCP servers on other parts of the network. This is the most basic example of having more than one DHCP server on the same network.

  • How to enable Remote Management on multiple Macs using Workgroup Manager?

    Hi
    I want to use workgroup manager to enable remote management on multiple macs I manage.
    How can I do that?
    Regards,

    The only way I know to enable remote managment remotely is by running kickstart.

    If you are already using a login script you could run kickstart from there.

  • How to change DHCP server

    Hi,
    Current DHCP svr (10.10.232.66), I have installed a new DHCP svr (10.10.232.71)
    I don't want to turn off current server and run both in parallel in order to make sure new svr work properly.
    So can I force some client to get IP from new svr ?? current svr assign 10.10.232.2-99 / new svr assign 10.10.100-200
    If test completed, I will use new svr to replace whole DHCP service on current svr.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    In general, you can run “ipconfig/release” and “ipconfig/renew” commands to force a DHCP client
    to obtain a new IP address. However, since you have two DHCP servers in the same subnet,
    clients can be leased at either server. Actual leases distributed to clients can depend on which server responds first to any given client. The clients can obtain
    IP addresses all from the new DHCP server only if the current server is unavailable.
    Besides, you can choose to reserve some IP addresses in the new DHCP server for permanent lease assignment
    to specified clients. Or you can use the 80/20 rule to set the new DHCP server with 80 percent of the addresses distributed and the remaining 20 percent provided by the current DHCP server. In these scenario, the new DHCP server responds to requests from DHCP
    clients most of the time and the current DHCP server assigns addresses to clients when the new DHCP server is not available or is out of addresses.

  • Does anyone know how to enable byte-range requests on Mac OS X Server 10.5?

    I need to be able to host my podcast episodes on the server and iTunes is giving me the error that my episodes are on a server that does not support byte-rnage requests when I try to submnit the podcast feed the iTunes directory. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks

    I'm afraid you've fallen over a requirement that Apple has recently introduced. The iPhone plays podcasts by using 'byte-range requests', which means calling for part of the file at a time rather than the whole thing. Unfortunately some servers don't support this, and there were an increasing number of complaints that podcasts which worked elsewhwere weren't working on an iPhone.
    So Apple are now making the ability to handle this a condition of submission. Evidently your server doesn't support this, so all you can do is to ask them whether they can implement it. If not, you will have to find another hosting service - ask about this before committing yourself, and if they say no, or don't know what it is, find another host. Note that if, as some people do, you are hosting the feed and the episodes on different servers, it is the server hosting the episodeswhich is in question.
    If you would like to post the URL of one of your media files it may be possible to check your server - there is a test though I'm not sure it's 100% accurate.

  • HOW TO: Enable videos downloaded to my MAC to play on A-TV

    I have several videos downloaded to my MAC's hard drive that I'd like to play through A-TV. Is this a situation where I'd have to transfer these files to iTunes in order to play them through A-TV? Can it be done by syncing the file with A-TV? How do I do these things?
    I'm new to Apple-- be kind!!!

    If you can play a movie in iTunes but you can't sync it or stream it to Apple TV, select the movie and then choose Advanced > Convert selection for Apple TV. This will create a new copy of the video in your iTunes library that is compatible with Apple TV.

    Here in Photoshop on Windows OS we can see the letter underlined for shortcut.
    In Menu bar
    F for File

    Is there any option like this to enable shortcuts for menu bar in "MAC OC"

    The closest I know is assigning "Move focus to the menu bar" in the Preferences a keyboard shortcut and then navigating with the arrow keys (letters may also work to highlight, but not to expand in and of themselves once the focus is on the menu bar).

  • How to enable Integration server on remote machine setup

    Hi All,
    My probelm is this as per my scenario;
    -I am using two machines.
    -One I configured with Weblogic8.1 Platform and using Admin Server.
    -Second I configured only Integration Platform and wanna to use Integration Server.
    SO, after all this I have started my Admin server and managed(Integration) server.
    -Then I deployed the one of Integration.ear file on my configured managed server,
    it goes success. Then I started Integration console through the Admin Server URL.
    Now my problem is this that when i am having Integration console there in a console
    am not able to see the deployed files or processes or any thing over there in
    integration console that shows that integration is running.
    Can any one help me in this regard. I do appreciate this.
    Sameer.

    Hi Greg,
    Thank's for your advices.
    Greg One thing i am not getting that is we are if we are having different platforms(i.e
    Integration , Portal and Simple Application) running on different machines but
    all machines are configured under one domain and everything you are managing through
    one Admin Server which is also running on different machine. SO, if you are deploying
    application that has to deploy on Admin Server!!!! OR to the concerned Server?

    I believe the admin server deploys copies of the .ear files to the managed
    server(s).
    I am not positive about Integration running on only the managed server.
    You
    would have to seek advise if WLI should run on admin and managed servers?

  • How to Setup iTunes Server with dedicated Mac

    Hi,
    I'm about to attempt to setup an iTunes Server. But before I do I want to make sure I have everything needed in order to accomplish this the way I envision it.
    This is the hardware/software I have:
    1. Powerbook G4 1.5Ghz
    2. iPhone
    3. Time Capsule
    4. USB Drive
    5. Airport Express connected to Stereo
    6. iTunes 8
    7. Screen Sharing
    8. 10.5.5
    9. Intel iMac
    Here's what I want to be able to do (ideally):
    1. Have iTunes run on the Powerbook.
    2. Store all of the media files on the USB drive that is connected to the Time Capsule.
    3. Have Time Machine backup the files from the USB drive to the Time Capsule.
    4. Use the iPhone as a remote control to skip and rate songs, etc.
    5. Sync the iPhone with the Powerbook for Music & Movies and sync it with my desktop iMac for everything else. Also, be able to sync iPods to the Powerbook.
    6. Occasionally use iTunes Sharing on my iMac to watch movies or TV shows that are "hosted" by the Powerbook.
    7. Occasionally hard-wire the Powerbook to my TV to watch movies or TV shows that are "hosted" by the Powerbook.
    7. Not have the Powerbook hard-wired to anything (other than when syncing iPhone & iPods and when it's connected to the TV).
    8. Use Screen Sharing to make playlists and generally edit iTunes from my desktop iMac.
    Is all of this possible? The only real hiccup I anticipate is with Time Machine backing up the USB drive to the Time Capsule. That and maybe the streaming of movies not working so smoothly on the 802.11g protocol.
    Have I missed anything?

    Everything should be good.
    I have a similar set-up, just substitute my mini in place of your powerbook.
    The only thing I would add is I have yet to get coverflow to work on a networked library. In other words, when I view my mini iTunes library from my iMac- I don't see the album artwork or the movie posters...it's just a list of the media.
    No major deal, but the reason I keep my drive connected to the mini as opposed to a NAS (network attached storage) device like the Time Capsule.
    My mini is my media center and I want to be able to view the cover artwork/posters.
    If there is a better way- let me know!

  • How can configure scope options in dhcp server

    Good Night Partners.
    I need configure scope options in dhcp server on mac mini.
    i dont know how to do.
    its my first mac and i confuse.
    Can anybody help me please.

    Are you referring to DHCP Option Codes? If so then this can be done with the DHCP server included with Mac OS X Server. However Apple do not provide a tool for doing this nor for encoding the values in the required format.
    What you will need to do is edit the DHCP Server configuration file manually using a text editor. This configuration file is located at /etc/bootpd.plist before you do this I advise having a read of the Unix man page for bootpd (the DHCP server software Apple use).
    You can use a utility I have written to generate the required information and then paste this in to /etc/bootpd.plist it can be downloaded from -
