Hi guys, I have a weird problem I can't understand. I set up dhcp about 6 months ago and everything was working fine, up until 2 days ago. when I rebooted the FC3 box dhcp wouldn't come back up. It kept giving an error, I've listed the error below. Does anyone have any idea why its breaking now? (apologies for the length of the output) Thanks in advance for your help.
