I'm seting up a terminal server on my main server. I am going along well but I can't seam to get DHCP to start.

I followed the instructions in the gentoo ltsp doc, even tried coping there dhcp.conf exemple but it won't work.

here is what I get

Code:

tenchi root # /etc/init.d/dhcp start
 * Starting dhcpd...

here is my current dhcp.conf file

Code:

// Some general options
default-lease-time            21600;
max-lease-time                21600;
use-host-decl-names           on;
ddns-update-style             ad-hoc;

// Bootp options
allow booting;
allow bootp;

// Network Options
option subnet-mask            255.255.255.0;
option broadcast-address      192.168.0.255;
option routers                192.168.0.1;
option domain-name-servers    192.168.0.1;
option log-servers            192.168.0.2;
option domain-name            "home.biz";

// LTSP Path Options
option root-path              "192.168.0.2:/opt/ltsp/i386";
filename                      "/lts/vmlinuz-2.4.19-ltsp-1";

// If your workstations have ISA NICs uncomment the following
// lines and alter the driver and IO
#option option-128 code 128 = string;
#option option-129 code 129 = text;
#option option-128 e4:45:74:68:00:00;
#option option-129 "NIC=ne IO=0x300";

shared-network WORKSTATIONS {
  subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
    // Distribute dynamic IPs to the workstations
    range dynamic-bootp 192.168.0.125 192.168.0.150;
    // Workstation specific configuration for PXE booting
    #host ws001 {
    #  hardware ethernet     00:E0:06:E8:00:84;
    #  fixed-address         192.168.0.1;
    #}
  }
}




my gateway/router/dns server is 192.168.0.1 and the TS is 192.168.0.2

second time I try and setup dhcp and fail. Hoping I can this time :)
