Well, it's running but perhaps not fine. Make sure there's a line with dhcpd in it. I get three lines, one for "dhclient" one for "grep dhcp" and one for "dhcpd3". The last is my dhcp server. dhcp 3073 0.0 0.1 2456 576 ?

Okay but is there another dhcp server on that network? That will definitely cause problems. > Apparently it wasn't that alone.

On the server run: sudo tcpdump -i eth1 udp port 68 or port 67 and then try rebooting a client. If the above command reports no packets, you need to look at your network cards, etc. and see is there really a link between the server and clients. > "eth1: no IPv6 routers present...can't find host npv.ubuntu.com...no > servers can be used, exiting" I guess that's ntp not npv. It shouldn't be relevant to this discussion. Your ppp link isn't working so you can't set the time off the online server. > > Can you ping them by ip address?

Okay, you need to look at the network I think. Once you can set compatible ip addresses and ping across the wires, then dhcp and booting have some chance. > There are two entries for ppp0 (216.254.132.30 / 255.255.255.255 / UH and > 0.0.0.0 / 0.0.0.0 / U) > and one for eth1 (192.168.0.0 / 255.255.255.0 / U) It would be preferable if you copy and paste the output, though I guess maybe you have no net access on that machine. Paraphrased descriptions like this can be misleading. That said, the above sounds okay. Can you ping your DNS server (which you should see listed in /etc/resolv.conf)?
