Thanks!

Any time dhcp init script breaks like that for me there's usually a good error in one of: /var/log/syslog /var/log/daemon.log /var/log/messages have a look in there and see does the error make it clear. If not post it. If there's no error, post your dhcpd.conf and clarify exactly what fails. </pre> <blockquote type="cite"> <pre wrap="">I have EHT0 setup as DHCP and ETH1 for my main network.
