I have to run a dhcp server on CentOS release 5.5 (Final). # yum list| grep -i dhcp dhcp.x86_64 12:3.0.5-23.el5 installed dhcp-devel.x86_64 12:3.0.5-23.el5 installed dhcpv6-client.x86_64 1.0.10-18.el5 installed after starting the dhcpd daemon, the windows Clients on the subnet (192.168.100.0/24) tells me, that there is no dhcp server available. # /etc/init.d/dhcpd configtest Syntax: OK [/var/log/messages] Aug 9 07:11:14 tfelx01 dhcpd: Internet Systems Consortium DHCP Server V3.0.5-RedHat Aug 9 07:11:14 tfelx01 dhcpd: Copyright 2004-2006 Internet Systems Consortium.
