Folks,

I am attempting to enable the DHCP Server that is included in 
Firestarter. The configuration file below contains what I believe are 
the correct DEFAULT entries. However, when I attempt to add the DHCP 
server from the Preferences screen; Firewall Settings --> Enable DHCP 
for the local network and then select Accept I get an error message that 
states Failed to start firewall An unknown error occurred. Followed by 
please check you network settings. If I then unselect the DHCP button 
and select Accept everything works like I had it before. Is my 
configuration file mangled or is there something else I am missing?

# DHCP configuration generated by Firestarter

subnet 192.168.139.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
         option routers 192.168.139.2;
         option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
         option domain-name-servers 24.93.41.127, 24.93.41.128;
         option ip-forwarding off;
         range dynamic-bootp 192.168.0.100 192.168.0.254;
         default-lease-time 21600;
         max-lease-time 43200;
}
/etc/dhcpd.conf (END)


Thanks,
Jay
