[Dnsmasq-discuss] DHCP request not getting to dnsmasq

[Robin Atwood]

This is probably something stupid but I am new at dnsmasq. I have the DNS 
function working well but wanted to run DHCP as well, for the laptops and 
PDAs in the house. Dnsmasq is running on a server which is plugged directly 
into an ADSL WiFi router, which is the gateway. When I activate the interface 
on a laptop, it connects over the WLAN to the router but when dhcpcd runs, it 
just times-out. The router is not running DHCP. I thought the DHCP client 
searched the LAN for a server but nothing appears in the dnsmasq logging. The 
firewall rules look Ok, so what have I overlooked?

TIA
Robin.
