There are a couple of possibilities that occur to me:

	1. You installed dhcpd but didn't actually start it.
	   Verify that it's actually running via "ps ax" or by
	   verifying that something is listening on TCP or UDP port
	   67 ("# netstat -lpn | grep :67").

	2. You have a config problem in /etc/dhcpd.conf that's
	   preventing it from starting.  Check the same stuff as 1.
	   above and also check /var/log/messages.

	3. Your firewall is blocking DHCP requests from Windows clients.
	   Make sure you accept requests on TCP and UDP ports 67 and 68.
