But there are nor file dhcpd.conf in /etc, neither file dhcpd in /etc/init.d (i have talked about this in the precedent lettre). There is a file dhcpd in /usr/local/sbin and dhcpd.conf in /usr/local/etc. i went to that folder to use the command:</P>
<P> </P>
<P>dhcpd start/stop</P>
<P> </P>
<P>There was a warning "can't open /etc/dhcpd.conf/ no such file or directory"</P>
<P> </P>
<P>It also seems that it must have a file dhcpd.conf in /etc for apply the configuration for the interfaces. So i have created a file whose name like that and try to put the infos in it. All seemed to be normal till the time i tried to enregister my modification. The system didnt accpet to enregister it.<BR></P>
<P>Hope now you undestand my problem and thank you so much for your answers.</P>
