newby help with dhcpd

[bedrock]

im trying to set up an internal net on a redhat linux 8.0 machine, the external ip is recieved from dhcp from my isp on eth0, and internal is set up on eth1 with the following:

ip: 192.168.10.255
subnet: 255.255.255.0
gateway: 192.168.10.255

here is my dhcpd.conf file:

# begin dchpd.conf
#
ddns-update-style interim;

# command line vars
DHCPDARGS=eth1;

subnet 192.168.10.0 netmask 255.255.255.0{
# options and parameters
default-lease-time 600;
max-lease-time 7200;
range 192.168.10.1 192.168.10.16;
option broadcast-address 192.168.10.255;
option domain-name-servers 204.127.202.4,
216.148.227.68;

option time-offset -21600;

}
#eof

my windows machines are not getting an ip. are there other services i need running or have i misconfigured the dhcpd.conf file? what about ip masquerading? how should eth1 be set up? any help would be appreciated

Hello,

First of all, you cant use 255 as an IP address on a class C subnet, it is reserved for broadcast. I would set it to 192.168.10.1

your other problems all relate to the ip address of your Linux box. nothing can comunicate with .255 Doomhamur
