Yes, the subnet is declared as the network addresss - not the machine.
But dhcpd was still responding that it couldn't bind to the machine
address. Here is my dhcpd.conf.
# Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
# DHCPd Daemon Configuration File
# dlt=600sec=10min, mlt=43200sec=12hours
#
default-lease-time 600;
max-lease-time 43200;
option domain-name-servers 10.8.1.7, 207.73.196.250;
option domain-name "forestview.edu";
subnet 10.33.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 10.33.1.10 10.33.1.250;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
option broadcast-address 10.33.1.255;
option routers 10.33.1.251;
}

ifconfig shows only eth0 and lo. Nothing appears abnormal in any way.
Even the routing table looked normal and the server itself was able to
surf the web as normal. dhcpd just insisted on pukeing whenever I tried
to launch it. As I've said elsewhere though, I think there must be
something going on either with the server or the network as we're
getting sharing violations with Samba that shouldn't be happening. I
don't know what else on the network would cause this. Immediately after
I changed the server IP I pinged the original IP to see what I'd find.
Ping said there was nothing there.
