sorry about the long lines last time. Here is my dhcpd.conf file and I am starting DHCPd using both: service dhcpd start and running dhcpd eth0
subnet 213.152.36.168 netmask 255.255.255.248 { range 213.152.36.172 213.152.36.173; } host Steve { hardware ethernet 00:08:A1:1A:AC:10; fixed-address 213.152.36.173; } As said before the service version reports failure Thanks Steve
