"This article explains how to easily configure DHCP on a network."

"The article's aim is to present:

• a static DHCP server (in order to be able to detect new guests on the network such as people connecting their laptop and trying to play pirate's games)
• a minimal loss of time.

The server used for this article is Paul Vixie/ISC DHCPd."

"Our first step is to create a blank configuration file which will be able to accept all clients on the network. I am using here the network configuration of the Slash Party #2 for which I tried to configure a proper Linux server."
