When you build up your home LAN, you probably want to use dhcp server. If you have not installed dhcp daemon, install it. Normaly, dhcp daemon is not installed automaticaly.

Then edit the dhcpd.conf in /etc as following.

If you use the Redhat Ver8.0 then add a line else you don't need it.
ddns-update-style ad-hoc;



opetion domain-name-servers 24.30.163.12, 66.75.160.41;
