Hi Bray
What do the logs say?
Also, try running dhcpd with -d -f
      -d      Force dhcpd to log to stderr.  This can be useful for

debugging,

              and also at sites where a complete log of all dhcp

activity must

              be kept, but syslogd(8) is not reliable or otherwise

cannot be

              used.  Normally, dhcpd will log all output using the

syslog(3)

              function with the log facility set to LOG_DAEMON.
      -f      Run dhcpd as a foreground process, rather than allowing

it to run

              as a daemon in the background.  This is useful when

running dhcpd

              under a debugger, or when running it out of inittab on

System V

              systems.
