can you reply with some extra information:

1. run "ps aux |grep dhcpd" and see if the dhcp server is running and on
   what interface, eg.

gavin at robin ~> ps aux |grep dhcpd
gavin    19810  0.0  0.1   3004   764 pts/6    S+   14:13   0:00 grep dhcpd
dhcpd    31979  0.0  0.0   2872   308 ?        Ss   Jul10   0:02 /usr/sbin/dhcpd3 -q -pf /var/run/dhcp3-server/dhcpd.pid -cf /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf eth0

2. Run "/sbin/ifconfig" to check what ip addresses are on what interfaces.

3. The file /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf

If you give us the output of these three, we'll get some idea what your
problem is.
