But i am getting the > "Unrecognized service" as o/p message. pls help. Looks like dhcpd is not installed. Try # rpm -q dhcp If not found # yum install dhcp Or - backing up a step - do you really need dhcp? I prefer to configure my home router to leave low-numbered addresses alone and assign static addresses of my own choosing (e.g. 192.168.1.2 192.168.1.3 ... the router being 192.168.1.1) for my Linux boxes.
