Just a quick thought. Where is your dhcpd.conf file located. I am pretty sure it is supposed to be in the /etc/ dir. Also you need to have a dhcpd.leases file which should be in /var/state/dhcp/
To make this file just execute the command:
touch /var/state/dhcp/dhcpd.leases
it seems that the dhcpd server is dead...the rare thing is that is says that it listening to the port....but nothing happens...I dunno what the hell is going on...checked the logs...the /var/etc/dhcp/dhcp.leases file, bla bla bla....
Do I have to open the port 67/68..???...How do I do that?...by editing the /etc/services file?....

Yes those two ports must be open. However unless you are running a firewall that is closing them, they should be open. If you have a firewall post it and maybe either myself or someone else can detect something that might be wrong. Post your setup as best you can. ie) what NICs you have and where they go to, along with your firewall script.
