DHCP - can't bind dhcp address - address already in use
-
hi
i have a strange problem. if i change something at the gateways and then i reload the configuration, sometimes the dhcp server stops and it does not work anymore until i reboot pfsense.
the PCs are working. they had their releases, but on the smartphones, when they connect again to the wlan, they do not get an ip adress.here is the log:
Dec 25 10:18:55 dhcpd Can't bind to dhcp address: Address already in use Dec 25 10:18:55 dhcpd Please make sure there is no other dhcp server Dec 25 10:18:55 dhcpd running and that there's no entry for dhcp or Dec 25 10:18:55 dhcpd bootp in /etc/inetd.conf. Also make sure you Dec 25 10:18:55 dhcpd are not running HP JetAdmin software, which Dec 25 10:18:55 dhcpd includes a bootp server.
