I encountered this bug today.  The problem lies in lines 112-121 of
/etc/firestarter/firestarter.sh:

        if [ -e /etc/init.d/dhcpd ]; then
                /etc/init.d/dhcpd restart > /dev/null
        else
                /usr/sbin/dhcpd 2> /dev/null
        fi

        if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
                echo Failed to start DHCP server
                exit 200
        fi

If you have the dhcp3-server package installed, there is no file at either:
/etc/init.d/dhcpd
or:
/usr/sbin/dhcpd
...so the script fails to start a dhcpd server, and exits.

Changing both instances of "/etc/init.d/dhcpd" to
"/etc/init.d/dhcp3-server" allows the firestarter.sh script to work as
expected.
