dnsmasq.conf Generated Errors

Jukari

New Around Here
First off, thanks Merlin for creating a Free Alternative Firmware! It's far superior to the generic one...

I'm fairly new to Linux router firmware, so I have probably some very stupid and basic problem...

My router is flooding Synology Disk Station logs with this error

DHCPINFORM(br0) 192.168.1.9.......
&
DHCPACK(br0)............

After a day an half of research I've found that putting:

dhcp-option=252,"\n"

will shut these windows 7 machines up.

However... I can't seem to implement that change... the change appears to save then as soon as the router is rebooted it's gone again...

I've tried killing the process id then adding it
upgrading to Merlin-Firmware

but it seems I am either not an administrator or my changes are being over written...

I've seen posts about adding a dnsmasq.conf.add file... but the entire file system appears to be locked down or read only:confused:... so not only do I not know where to put that file, but I also don't if I have the rights too.....

Please help... step by step instructions would be most valuable!

Thank you.
 
Before using the JFFS partition it must be enabled. Enable JFFS on the Administration -> System page, format it, then reboot. After rebooting, check that a /jffs/configs directory has appeared. If it did, then it means you're all set, and you can create your dnsmasq file. If /jffs is empty of any directory however then it means JFFS isn't properly enabled or formatted. Some people reported that a second reboot was sometime needed for JFFS to get enabled.
