dhcpd configuration problem, i think

[Mike]

I am trying to set up a Fedora-Linux box to serve as a dhcp server, dns
server, smb server and router for a small LAN. The first thing I am trying
to make work is the dhcp server. This server has two NIC's; eth0 is on the
LAN, eth1 is disconnected now. As I get the parts running I will connect
eth1 to the Internet via the DSL modem.

I installed Fedora Core 2 and have applied all the updates as of today.

On my test network there is a DSL router at 192.168.1.1. It works. If I set
a Windows 2000 client to a static IP in the range 192.168.1. and set the
gateway to the router I can access the Internet.

:::::: On the Fedora box I am trying to make the server:

cat dhcpd.conf----------------------------------------------------------
ddns-update-style interim;
ignore client-updates;
#       ...     Internet side - connects to DSL/Cable modem (disconnected)
subnet 192.168.2.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 { }
#       ...     LAN Side

        authoritive;
        option routers                  192.168.1.1;
        option subnet-mask              255.255.255.0;

        option domain-name              "domain.org";

        option ntp-servers              time-a.nist.gov;
        option netbios-name-servers     192.168.1.1;
        range                           192.168.1.64 192.168.1.128;
        option broadcast-address        192.168.1.255;
        default-lease-time              86400;
        max-lease-time                  86400;
        option ip-forwarding            off;
}
