I've got a stand-alone test network which is not connected to the
internet and I need to configure a RH 9.0 Linux PC to run a DHCP Server
to administer the IP address on the test net. When I run
/etc/init.d/dhcpd, I get the following error:

"Not configured to listen on any interfaces"

This is my /etc/dhcpd.conf file:

option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
ddns-update-style none;
default-lease-time 21600;
max-lease-time 43200;
option meta-data code 43 = text;
option attempts code 134 = unsigned integer 8;
option timeout code 135 = unsigned integer 8;

subnet 192.168.88.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {

option routers 192.168.88.10;

option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;

option meta-data "224.2.2.2:22222";

host dev1 {
hardware ethernet 00:02:9B:18:1F:8F;
fixed-address 192.168.88.1;
}

host dev2 {
hardware ethernet 00:02:9B:18:1F:82;
fixed-address 192.168.88.2;
}

host dev3 {
hardware ethernet 00:02:9B:18:1E:E8;
fixed-address 192.168.88.3;
}

}

Any help would be appreciated.

Is one of your NIC cards configured with an address on the 192.168.88.0
network? Is that NIC up and running before you start your dhcpd?

It turns out that I had not assigned the NIC on the DHCP server a static
IP address - Doh.
