Yeah, the dhcp man files you fine are pretty bleek.
I found a very helpful tutorial online.
www.linuxhomenetworking.com there you can buy a .pdf file of basic
linux setup for alot of the most common services. cost is a whopping $5
worth every penny!!
my dhcpd.conf looks something like this:
# rokit dhcpd.conf 11-28-03
ddns-update-style interim;
default-lease-time 3600;
max-lease-time 3600;
subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
option routers 192.168.0.1;
range 192.168.0.200 192.168.0.205;
option broadcast-address 192.168.0.255;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
option domain-name-servers 192.168.0.5;
option domain-name "mydomain.net";
host xp1 {
hardware ethernet 00:40:f4:64:cf:6e;
fixed-address 192.168.0.20;
}
host rf-ap {
hardware ethernet 00:60:1d:1d:6d:9e;
fixed-address 192.168.0.15;
}
host vaio {
hardware ethernet 00:02:2d:60:7f:4c;
fixed-address 192.168.0.25;
}
host thumper {
hardware ethernet 00:60:97:3d:35:d7;
fixed-address 192.168.0.30;
}
}
This should do the basic dhcp that you are looking for.
I have assigned static addresses to my boxes on my network
thus the lines with the MAC Addresses and fixed address.

I am still very new to Linux. I am trying to configure a machine
to act as my firewall on my broadband connection, which is
working, and to serve as DHCP server to my LAN. I've been looking
for two hours for simple explanations, but, most of what I'm
finding is very old, and contradictory. Can someone point me to a
resource? Also, I seem to see references to a graphical DHCP
administrative tool for KDE but I can't find this - is this
installed with FC3, or is it something that I have to add?
