Did you configure the dhcpd.conf file? :)

I think i forgot to set IP to the DHCP server it self, thats why got this

Code:

Not configured to listen on any interfaces!
After i assign IP to my DHCP server, everything solve
I hope this problem is because of didnt set IP to the DHCP server it self.

Anyone face this problem also? Please give comment :)

at the bottom of the file you need
DHCPDARGS=eth0 or whichever NIC DHCPD is running.

On redhat systems there is a text file /etc/sysconfig/dhcpd

You can use this file instead of putting at the bottom of dhcpd.conf
