DHCPD error, Fedora 13
 

I am trying to configure a Fedora 13 server, simple installation, for PXE boot installation to install Xenserver

I have obviously made a basic error in my dhcpd.conf file (please see below)

The effect is that the DHCPD service does not run automatically, I have to run /etc/init.d/network restart before DHCPD runs on my server. Any ideas anyone?

Many thanks

Sorry guys but my problems seems mor basic than with the dhcpd.conf file, I've just noticed that eth0 does not start on boot up, I have to run /etc/init.d/network restart before the NIC will start, here are my eth0 configs

Many thanks

Sorry Prayag, I should have said, I am non GUI, command line only.
