Claude,
Had the three working PCs been rebooted lately? If not that might
explain why they continued to work. Or they had not gotten new leases
from the server.
I booted a spare laptop that had been sitting on the shelf for months during
this little episode, and it had no problems, so I don't think that's it.
Maybe something mucked up you dhcp.conf file. I've only limited
experience with DHCP, and I did not run my own DNS server, just handed
out the addresses from my ISP. Is there a dhcp.conf.rpmnew or .orig
file?
dhcp.conf was intact - I did check that
Maybe there is a bug in webmin. Did you happen to note the file
date
and times for your dhcp.conf before changing it?
well, I don't know about that - I had been poking around webmin that night,
but I didn't configure anything with it -
I take it that no one else is having similar problems.
no one
else has chimed in
I did notice one other thing regarding slpd; on boot I get a selinux message
saying it has failed to get permissions - I can't give details because I'm on
my way out of town
Hope this current configuration 'holds' - my downstairs housemate wouldn't
want internet down for a whole weekend - fortunately, I have a router that
can be swapped in for my Linux box, and I left him instructions on how to do
that - I guess I'm in wait and see mode
