I flashed an Asus RT-N16 to DD-WRT v24-sp2 (08/12/10) mega build 14929 which all works fine apart from DNSMasq won't start, therefore clients are unable to get addresses via DHCP.

DNSMasq indicates it's a configuration fault (configuration below) with an exit code of "1".

Exit code 1 wrote:
# dnsmasq -t --config-file=/tmp/dnsmasq

root@gw0-1-eth:~# echo $?
1
root@gw0-1-eth:~#


Any help to get this running would be appreciated.

This is the configuration when DNSMasq is disabled:
# cat /tmp/dnsmasq.conf wrote:
interface=br0
resolv-file=/tmp/resolv.dnsmasq
domain=london.lan
stop-dns-rebind


This is the configuration when DNSMasq is enabled via the web GUI (seems dd-wrt adds a load to it):
# cat /tmp/dnsmasq.conf wrote:
interface=br0
resolv-file=/tmp/resolv.dnsmasq
domain=london.lan

If your range is 100-149 then all those computers which you have defined as static leases will not get a lease since they are outside the DHCP range.

Using dots in host names is likely to cause DNSMasq to treat the text after the dot as a domain name..

Thanks, I'll try those changes and let you know.

I should point out, this configuration worked perfectly on my last dd-wrt router.

Dots in the hostnames seems to be the issue. Removed them and life is good again.

Thanks LOM.
