Is there any other DHCP server on the network (a router, a Windows server, etc.)? I haven't read your previous posts, so I am unsure of your exact setup, but are there many machines on your network or just one (the Windows XP machine) in addition to the Ubuntu server? If it is just the server and the Windows XP machine, you might consider just setting them both staticly and not worrying with setting up a DHCP server. That being said, your "errors" posted above really just look like part of a dhcpd.conf file. Without seeing the whole file, it is hard to know what all errors may be in it, but from just your snippet two things pop out at me: First, your IP range is not an IANA private range: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_network You need something in the 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255 area (if you want a 192 network instead of 10. or 17.16.) Secondly, your subnet (192.10.1.104) isn't really a subnet, but rather a specific IP address. Here is a correct subnet definition: subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 { range 192.168.1.105 192.168.1.150; } This would have the dhcp server give out addresses from 192.168.1.105 - 192.168.150 You will probably also want an option routers and an option domain-name servers somewhere in there. For example, say your gateway/router is at 192.168.1.254 and your name server is also the same as your gateway/router (192.168.1.254) . A mini config file for this might look something like this: # Begin file option domain-nameservers 192.168.1.254; option routers 192.168.1.254; subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 { range 192.168.1.105 192.168.1.150; } # End file Anything with a # in front of it is consindered a comment and is not used to configure the dhcp server. Also, be sure that your dhcp address range doesn't include any devices you might set statically (like your gateway or router).
