Well, my problem is fixed now and I wanted to share my experience because it might
help someone else who is having the same problem. I only had two subnet declarations
in my .conf file, and one was for a set of live static ip's. So, my rational became,
"Well, dhcpd isn't giving the leases to this subnet, so why should I put it in there?"
And I took it out so that the only subnet in the file was for the 192.168's that the
dhcp was supposed to be giving out on eth1. I rebooted and dhcpd complained on startup
about the change, but all of a sudden the win box got the lease? I said great! Well, I
put the line back in for the subnet that I took out, rebooted and everything works
dandy! I'm certainly glad that it is working now but it really put me inbetween a
rock and a hard place. Now if I can just get my routing working, I'll be happy!!:-)
Thanks to all who tried to help.
Scott
