I don't believe this is part of Pogoplug's functionality at this time.

@jackaninny
Help me understand why you are looking to do this with your Pogoplug instead of your router?

Made some changes at a few locations and now the router management resides with out carrier. I was planning on adding some network drive space out there anyway using something like Pogoplug. It would be nice to kill two birds with one stone and have the ability to do DHCP from the Pogo also.

Hello,

I am also interested by this, as I want to setup a diskless booting system, with a linux image on a usb device. The dhcp server on my router is very limited and cannot be configured, so I though about using my pogoplug as a dhcp server instead.

I tried to disable the dhcp on the router, and launch udhcpd, with the hope that it will work by default without any other tweaks, like it did for bidmead, but my laptop could not retrieve an ip adress anymore...

SO, does anyone know how to replace the dhcp server of my ISP router by the pogoplug udhcpd ?

I hope this question is clear enough
