DNSMASQ problem

[castletonroad]

So I've been a good boy and put /etc/network/interfaces back the way it shipped with Jessie. I'm now assigning my static IPs using /etc/dhcpd.conf.

Since this broke my WiFi AP configuration on wlan0, I decided to follow this link to get it back working again:

https://frillip.com/using-your-raspberr ... h-hostapd/

But when I:

Code: Select all

$ sudo service dnsmasq start

I get the error:

Code: Select all

failed to create listening socket for 192.168.10.1: Address already in use

/etc/dnsmasq.conf

Code: Select all

interface=wlan0
listen-address=192.168.10.1
bind-interfaces
server=8.8.8.8
domain-needed
bogus-priv
dhcp-range=192.168.10.10,192.168.10.20,12h

/etc/dhcpd.conf:

Code: Select all

denyinterfaces wlan0

interface eth0
 static ip_address=192.168.1.19/24
 static routers=192.168.1.1
 static domain_name_servers=192.168.1.1

#interface wlan0
# static ip_address=192.168.10.1/24
# static routers=192.168.10.1
# static domain_name_servers=192.168.10.1

interface wlan1
 static ip_address=192.168.1.21/24
 static routers=192.168.1.1
 static domain_name_servers=192.168.1.1

/etc/network/interfaces:

Code: Select all

source-directory /etc/network/interfaces.d
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

iface eth0 inet manual
 pre-up /etc/firewall-openvpn-rules.sh

iface wlan0 inet static
 address 192.168.10.1
 netmask 255.255.255.0
 network 192.168.10.0
 broadcast 192.168.10.255

#allow-hotplug wlan0
#iface wlan0 inet manual
# wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

allow-hotplug wlan1
iface wlan1 inet manual
 wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

(wlan0 is the AP, wlan1 is a network adaptor)

What am I missing?

Does it work without bind-interfaces?

[castletonroad]

Yes. But see the following course of action...

1. '#'d out bind-interfaces, and then rebooted.

2. ifconfig output:

Code: Select all

wlan0     Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr b8:27:eb:fe:7f:3a

3. sudo service dnsmasq status output:

Code: Select all

4. I execute sudo ifup wlan0, and again, ifconfig output:

Code: Select all

And sudo service dnsmasq restart, then sudo service dnsmasq status:

And then I can connect to the WiFi AP and access the internet.

Progress! But it seems wlan0 is not coming up at boot..?

[castletonroad]

Code: Select all

allow-hotplug wlan0   << Unhashed this line in /etc/network/interfaces
iface wlan0 inet static
 address 192.168.10.1
 netmask 255.255.255.0
 network 192.168.10.0
 broadcast 192.168.10.255

Works a treat now.

I had similar problems, but I also wanted to be able to use my wired connection on DHCP to my home network so I could SSH to the Pi from my home network without connecting to it as an access point. In /etc/network/interfaces I added:

Code: Select all

auto eth0
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
