Can anyone please help me with this? I'm new at this. :)

Hey, sorry for the delay in getting back to you. I typed a response and got pulled away before hitting send. :(
(Thanks for the poke on my blog -- I would have forgotten otherwise)

I'm afraid I'll need a little more information to figure out what's going on here.

From the message and your pull-request, it looks like you've got an awkwardly formatted interface-name somewhere, but without seeing your config, it'll be hard to guess at what's happening.

Can you respond with whatever information you can share about your interface configuration in conf.py and/or the output of ifconfig -a | grep Link and ls -1 /sys/class/net/? (You can obscure the MAC addresses if you consider those sensitive information)

It's entirely possible that I simply misunderstood something about how aliased interfaces show up in libc and I can verify that easily enough if what you have matches what I expect.

Hi flan, i sorted out that issue, now i'm having another issue will you please help me in deploying this server on my local machine? I'll be grateful to you

Sure, but I'll need some information to work with, like where in the process you've run into problems.

And I would like to resolve the issue that you first reported: what was the solution to your problem? Do I need to make any changes to the code?

[saboor97]

i removed line 139 in File "/libpydhcpserver/getifaddrslib.py", line 139, in get_network_interface
return interface.split(':', 1)[0]
This solved issue for me :)

i ran into this error when i started server by executing "sudo python staticDHCPd"
