Configuring DHCP.

Hello,
I'm having problems configuring the DHCP server (it won't start - need
help with dhcpd.conf).
1) This is my current setup:
* eth0 points to the internet.
* eth1 points to the thin clients.
* I did 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure dhcp3-server' and told it to serve DHCP
requests on eth1.
* I did copy /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf to /etc/dhcp3
* I edited /etc/network/interfaces to contain:
iface eth0 inet dhcp
iface eth1 inet static
address 192.168.0.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
up flush-mail
2) This is the error:
When I type 'sudo /etc/init.d/dhcp3-server start' I get the message
"dhcpd3 failed to start" and the following error in syslog:
<quote>
No subnet declaration for eth1 (0.0.0.0).
** Ignoring requests on eth1. If this is not what
you want, please write a subnet declaration
in your dhcpd.conf file for the network segment
to which interface eth1 is attached. **
Not configured to listen on any interfaces!
</quote>
The contents of dhcpd.conf are unmodified from the default
/etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf. That is:
<full-contents>
authoritative;
subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 192.168.0.20 192.168.0.250;
option domain-name "example.com";
option domain-name-servers 192.168.0.1;
option broadcast-address 192.168.0.255;
option routers 192.168.0.1;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
filename "/ltsp/pxelinux.0";
option root-path "/opt/ltsp/i386";
}
</full-contents>
I am now at a loss. I don't know what to do here. I was hoping that
someone here could guide me a little. Any help would be very much
appreciated.
Cheers,
Daniel.
