this has nothing to do with your dhcpd.conf
look at your /etc/sysconfig/dhcpd AND you network-config of the machine
has the machine a 192.168.2.x address?

this below is my config for having dhcp only on internal subnet which
is in my case a brdige between lan-interface and wlan0 because the
machine acts as router/wlan-ap

[root@srv-rhsoft:~]$ cat /etc/sysconfig/dhcpd
# Command line options here
DHCPDARGS=br0


I looked at the file and it was set to "DHCPDARGS=eth1" which is my internet NIC; so, I changed that to "DHCPDARGS=eth2" which is my LAN NIC, and to your question as to whether I have such an address as 192.168.2.1, I do, and according to Network Manager, that NIC is "connected".

The previous errors being reported in "var/log/messages", the incorrect subnet error, and the "Not configured to listen on any interfaces!" error, are resolved now.

A new error now being reported is this: "Can't open /var/lib/dhcpd/dhcpd.leases for append." and then results in "Unit dhcpd.service entered failed state." - I navigated to that file using Konqueror running as root, and the file is there and I was able to open it just fine...could this be Selinux causing the "unable to open"? I just checked sealerts and there are none...

The strange thing about all this is that this was all working the last time I had a computer behind this box - it's been awhile but I don't know why I would have changed that /sysconfig/dhcpd setting over the past months...the mislabeled subnet was probably me when I was trying various things to troubleshoot this.
