DHCPD failed

[heygokul]

I am using Cent OS, this is on a vmware workstation, i have disabled vmware DHCP, and NAT, its on host only networking. I have configured the dhcpd.conf file with the following, this server is not a server.
I am on static IP 192.168.1.3.


#
# DHCP Server Configuration file.
# see /usr/share/doc/dhcp*/dhcpd.conf.sample
#ddns-update-style interim;
ignore client-updates

subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {

# --- default gateway
#option routers 192.168.0.1;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;

#option nis-domain "domain.org";
#option domain-name "domain.org";

range dynamic-bootp 192.168.1.5 192.168.1.25;

max-lease-time 400;

# we want the nameserver to appear at a fixed address
#host ns {

#}
}



Chkconfig shows dhcpd server is on for the current user level.

host.conf has the following
order hosts,bind

Any suggestions on how to proceed?

If you haven't already figured out, there is a missing ";" after ignore client-updates. A good practice is to check /var/log/messages for more information on failure.
