There is a final critical step to [[Transition to Amahi]] for your network. Your clients need to be using Amahi for DNS for it all to be working as expected.
== Amahi 7/8 /9/10/11 (Fedora 19/21/23/25/27) Prerequisite ==
You will need to install the network tools package(or [https://www.amahi.org/apps/hda-troubleshooting-tools HDA Troubleshooting Tools] web application):
yum install net-tools bind-utils
::'''NOTE:''' <code>yum</code> (deprecated) has been replaced with <code>dnf</code> as the package manager for Fedora 23 and greater. == Identify the problem ==
To help you identify a network problem you might have, try using the [http://www.amahi.net Interactive Amahi Network Troubleshooter].
If it fails along the way, it will give you instructions on how to get additional help, and how to provide us with the information we need to help you understand and fix the problem.
== Additional Diagnosis ==
If the [http://www.amahi.net Interactive Amahi Network Troubleshooter] can't help, you can try the steps below, and tell us (on IRC, or in the forums) what step you get stuck at.
=== Step 1 ===
From your hda itself (via ssh or at the desktop in a terminal), can you:
'''IMPORTANT:''' after turning off the DHCP server in your router, you must [[RenewIP|renew your client's IP addresses]].
=== Step 2 ===
If you want to use the full functionality of your HDA, you '''must make sure your client has a DHCP lease from your HDA''' from here on, so let's move to one or more of the clients (after their network has restarted:
* At what point, relative to the above, did you restart (or ''release and'' renew the DHCP lease on the) clients
== Non Default Network Set-ups ==
If your router does not have an IP of 192.168.1.1, the following command will make the process easy to allow your HDA to work:
<b>NOTE:</b> You will need to restart your server after applying the change.
== Can't Disable Router DHCP ==It's unusual, but not unheard of, to not be able to disable DHCP on the router. Most notable is the case of using an Airport Express for DHCP service. Refer to the Apple [[Airport express|Airport Express]] guidance for a work around. This same technique may work with other router brands. == When all else fails ==
In some cases, it could be the client OS causing issues.
One known issue is the [[Vista_Networking_Issue|Windows Networking Issue]]
