I tried everything in dhcpd.conf,but everytime it's failed to start.

This is what I did,if any error plz suggest..

Code:

#ddns-update-style interim;
ignore client-updates;

subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {

# --- default gateway
        option routers                  192.168.1.1;
        option subnet-mask              255.255.255.0;

        option nis-domain               "domain.org";
        option domain-name              "pdk.rh5.server";
        option domain-name-servers      192.168.1.1;

        option time-offset              -18000; # Eastern Standard Time
#       option ntp-servers              192.168.1.1;
#       option netbios-name-servers     192.168.1.1;
# --- Selects point-to-point node (default is hybrid). Don't change this unless
# -- you understand Netbios very well
#       option netbios-node-type 2;

        range dynamic-bootp 192.168.1.1         192.168.0.254;
        default-lease-time 21600;
        max-lease-time 43200;

        # we want the nameserver to appear at a fixed address
        #host ns {
        #       next-server marvin.redhat.com;
        #       hardware ethernet 12:34:56:78:AB:CD;
        #       fixed-address 207.175.42.254;
        #}
}

Please try with this config file .....here your domain name should be like "example.com" and not be a machines FQDN,and DHCP server IP "192.168.1.1"
