I certainly haven't found it to be trivial. After long fiddling with /etc/dhcpd.conf, which kept producing errors of the form "No subnet declaration for eth0" and the like, I eventually reached the stage where it says: dhcpd: socket: Protocol not available - make sure CONFIG_PACKET and CONFIG_FILTER are defined in your kernel configuration! As they are already configured I can see no way to get beyond this. I'll willingly admit I don't understand the network terminology very well but it certainly is not trivial to get the system to allow access to 192.168.0.1, which is currently my goal in life.
