Oh - I assumed you were configuring the machine as a DHCP client.

There cannot be two DHCP servers on the same network (it might be possible,
but I think it is too risky, and an administrative nightmare). If you
had two of them, then what you can do is:

Stop dhcpd on one of them. Remove that service altogether.
Stop dhcpd on the other one also. Empty the leases file (if one exists, on
my machine, it is /var/lib/dhcp/dhcpd.leases) - don't remove it.
Start dhcpd.
On windows machines, run winipcfg from start menu->run. Renew the lease
on the interface.
On linux machines, restart the network service.

You should be ok after this.
