dhcpd.conf/xlite question

Hi all,

As I understand from what I read in the asterisk book, one of the ways to allow the x-lite softphone to connect is by setting up dhcp in dhcpd.conf. I'm wondering what addresses I'm supposed to use in dhcpd.conf. I have a home network where the computer i run asterisk on is at 192.168.0.102, is xlite supposed to get its address from my router or from the linux box? Also the xlite setup asks for a domain and sip proxy and I'm not sure how to address them either. I can follow the sample given in the book ok, I'm just not sure what the addresses are. If I have a router responding to dhcp requests and my asterisk box also responding to those requests wont I have conflicts?

Let me know if I'm not being clear.
Thanks for all help.

Hi

first things first, you should only have 1 dhcp server on you network running at any one time.

As to setting up xlite via dhcp, perhaps you could point us to the document in question.

The document I was referring to is the newer release of the Asterisk book from oreilly that briefly goes into setting up a soft ip phone, specifically the xten-xlite from counterpath.com. Seeing as i have my router as the dhcp server on my LAN, I'm guessing my Domain for the ip phone would be the address of the router, but what about the sip proxy? Would that be the address of the asterisk box? So far I've only done what the aterisk book has laid out, setting up simple configurations for extensions.conf and sip.conf.

well i got my sip phones logged in to the system. i was using the wrong ip address in the domain field of the phone's setup. I was giving it the address of my router as opposed to the address of the asterisk box, plus I found the asterisk book at http://www.the-asterisk-book.com/ much more helpful than the O'reilly asterisk book..so far.
