With NT, dromp into a cmd shell and type "ipconfig /release" which will
release the 10.1.0/24 subnet. Then you can try an "ipconfig /renew" to
get your local subnet.
I do the same thing with my work laptop, so here's my dhcpd.conf:
subnet 192.168.10.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 192.168.10.3 192.168.10.20;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0 ;
option broadcast-address 192.168.10.255 ;
option routers 192.168.10.1;
option domain-name-servers dns.1.ip.here, dns.2.ip.here, 192.168.10.1;
option domain-name "yourdomain.here.ok";
}
See how this works for you.
