Thanks for your response.
Yes, I'm doing this to learn!
I am making a little progress. I don't know where
/etc/log.d/conf/services came from. I made a copy of
dhcpd.conf and placed it in /etc/. Seems to have
written some canned entry into the lease file when I
run the dhcp service, but I'm not able to connect my
windows box. Running windows ipconfig /renew, I get:
"The DHCP Server is unreachable. I thought I had
opened up the firewall, but not sure if I typed the
command right.
What else might I check?
Thanks,

Probably several reasons -
1. to learn
2. linux is more flexible than the barebones cayman

That would be lame - even if its going to be
standalone, without any network connection
If it's on the network, give it a name - unix
servers want to be able to resolve names
forward and backward for the most part.

Huh?
Where in the world did
/etc/log.d/conf/services
come from?
/etc/dhcpd.conf is the pathname of the config file
Other than that I don't see any major
issues with your config.
