2. Can the Linux box have a host name or just
"localhost"?
sure put it in # vi /etc/sysconfig/network
3. The manual talks about the dhcpd.conf being in the /etc directory. Mine is in /etc/log.d/conf/services Is this right?
i think no # cp /usr/share/doc/dhcp*/dhcpd.conf.sample /etc/dhcpd.conf there is an README too
modify the new /etc/dhcpd.conf
#tail -f /var/log/messages # service dhcpd start
# rpm -ql dhcp
# vi /var/lib/dhcp/*
play with the entries and check what your windows-boxes get
it´s so easy to setup an dhcpd
but you can run in great trouble if you have 2 ore more and you don´t know that they are running
so there is no default-dhcpd.conf in /etc for preventing you from trouble ;-)
