1 -- what platform are you running you DHCP server?
2 -- The quickest way to check whether you have another DHCP server on
the LAN is to run tcpdump and listen out for any bootp traffic. A
quick run of tcpdump -i <interface> -n port 67 or port 68 will show
you all bootp traffic on your LAN.
3 -- If you did not change the scope on your DHCP server, you may end
up with some wrong info.

Of course, you might discount this possibility, but remember that one in
a million chances happen 99% of the time.
