    Welcome to the forums!

    Try running the start command like this:

    Code:
    /sbin/service dhcpd start
    Hope it works!

    I can be found either 40 miles west of Chicago, or in a galaxy far, far away.

    Does your network already have a dhcp server running?
    Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.

    You can start it with the command (from root): service dhcpd start

    You need to have a dhcpd.conf file in the /etc directory.
    You can find a sample dhcpd.conf file in the server/ directory of the DHCP package you downloaded.

    You can now run as root.

    service dhcpd start
