So, change some of the personal details...

The problem may well be that you're not writing the configuration files
properly, but we can't tell.

Also, tell us whether you're using "network" and/or "NetworkManager"
services.

I've attached the dhcpd.conf file from my server.  It's full of
experiments, you don't need most of the stuff that's in it.  But it
works for me, in the manner that I expect it to.

NB:  "example.com" is a domain name reserved for using in example
documentation (so you don't cause problems with other people's
networks).
