The problem may well be that you're not writing the configuration files properly, but we can't tell. Also, tell us whether you're using "network" and/or "NetworkManager" services. I've attached the dhcpd.conf file from my server. It's full of experiments, you don't need most of the stuff that's in it. But it works for me, in the manner that I expect it to. NB: "example.com" is a domain name reserved for using in example documentation (so you don't cause problems with other people's networks). -- (This computer runs FC7, my others run FC4, FC5 & FC6, in case that's important to the thread.) Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I read messages from the public lists.
