I am setting up a dnsmasq server at the moment with the capabiltity of acting as a DHCP server. Ive done a basic setup yet. My goal was to have a DHCP Server here that also resolves names and makes them pingable.

DHCP works just fine, I get the Adresses in range, etc. But I cant ping other computers by name. Here is my config:

domain-needed
bogus-priv
filterwin2k
bind-interfaces
domain=nidhoegger.local
dhcp-range=192.168.42.100,192.168.42.250,36h
dhcp-option=3,192.168.42.1

my resolv.conf:

nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 8.8.4.4

The clients get the IP of the dnsmasq server as DNS, so that should be fine. What else can be the issue?

  • So in client's resolv.conf is your dhcp server ip right? Do you actually run also a DNS server on that machine? – Fiisch Jan 21 '17 at 10:21
  • dnsmasq acts as dns and dhcp server. and yes, there is the IP of the local DNS server where dnsmasq is running – Nidhoegger Jan 21 '17 at 10:22

    How about this? https://blogging.dragon.org.uk/howto-setup-dnsmasq-as-dns-dhcp/ the config is way richer than you have. looks like you do not specify domain settings – Fiisch Jan 21 '17 at 10:25
