problem with DHCP in fedora 8


Hi! Everyone!

I have installed Fedora 8 in my box.
I am in a big network, which consists of 40 rooms, and each room consists of 50 laptops. We have nearly 20 hubs, 1 for 2 rooms, and have a server. I owned one room, and all the workstations are using Windows XP. All the laptops have the manual IP, including me.

I installed dhcp in my fedora and want to give dynamic IPs in my room (50 laptops). Here the problem comes.

Let us take, My IP is (manual IP) 10.14.4.191
and I want to give the IP range 10.14.4.150 to 10.14.4.199

Here I configured my dhcpd.conf

#file :/etc/dhcpd.conf

ddns-update-style none;

default-lease-time 21600;

max-lease-time 43200;

subnet 10.14.4.128 netmask 255.255.255.191{

range 10.14.4.129 10.14.4.190;

option subnet-mask 255.255.255.191;

option broadcast-address 10.14.4.191;

option domain-name-servers "We have some public IP Here"

}

I use the Subnet calculator to obtain subnet and netmask.
but it is not working.

Here is the Output, when I run the command dhcpd

Internet Systems Consortium DHCP Server V3.0.6-Fedora
Copyright 2004-2007 Internet Systems Consortium.
All rights reserved.
For info, please visit http://www.isc.org/sw/dhcp/
Address range 10.14.4.129 to 10.14.4.190, netmask 255.255.255.191 spans multiple subnets!
This version of ISC DHCP is based on the release available
on ftp.isc.org. Features have been added and other changes
have been made to the base software release in order to make
it work better with this distribution.
Please report for this software via the Red Hat Bugzilla site:
http://bugzilla.redhat.com
exiting.

But When I try to assign the IP dynamically in clients, the IP is not assigned.
Can anyone give the configuration for DHCP.
Thanks in advance
