Funny thing - when I went to setup the connection sharing, it asked for both cd 1 and 2, and installed bind, dhcp server, and a couple of other things. One would figure that these things would have been installed by default... (I'll save that for a future rant)

In order to set up dhcp server, you need to download the dhcp package.
ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/Mandrake/updates/7.2/RPMS/dhcp-3.0b2pl9-3mdk.i586.rpm
That one should work.
Then, edit dhcpd.conf, here is mine....
subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
option routers 192.168.0.1;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
option domain-name "heronet.2y.net";
option domain-name-servers 192.168.0.200;
range dynamic-bootp 192.168.0.10 192.168.0.199;
default-lease-time 21600;
max-lease-time 43200;
}
The option routers is the ip of the gateway, which is usually 192.168.0.1,
the domain-name is whatever you want it to be, which is probably the
hostname of your server. The domain-name-servers is the domain name
server that you want to use. I use a caching name server, so that is the
reason for a local net addy. I suggest a separate entry for each entry in
your /etc/resolv.conf file (each server has to have a line with a
semi-colon). This is not mandatory, if your client pc's are configured
with a dns, but it makes it easier to do it via dhcpd. The range is the
range of ip's you want to use. the times are in seconds, default should
be ok.
Then, restart, and add to chkconfig:
#service dhcpd restart
#chkconfig --add dhcpd
#chkconfig --level 2 dhcpd on
#chkconfig --level 3 dhcpd on
#chkconfig --level 4 dhcpd on
#chkconfig --level 5 dhcpd on
#chkconfig --list
Now, it will always be running, and it works very well.
Good luck, and let me know if you need more assistance.
