dhcp help

[Server Seeker]

Hey there I am setting trying to set up a dhcp server with CentOS 5.1 on a dell gx260. When I try to start the configuration I get this error message:

dhcpd failed. The error was: Starting dhcpd: [FAILED]
I also have installed the OS on a old hp desktop, and got the same results. I don't think it is a hardware issue. If anyone has any ideas that would be great. thanks

paste your dhcpd.conf & maybe someone can help you...

could anyone post their file to use as a refrence? that would be great. My file is blank. I know it has a sample, but it has alot of other unrelated info in it for my network, do I need that info?
