DHCPD failed
 

I am using Cent OS, this is on a vmware workstation, i have disabled vmware DHCP, and NAT, its on host only networking. I have configured the dhcpd.conf file with the following, this server is not a server.
I am on static IP 192.168.1.3.

Chkconfig shows dhcpd server is on for the current user level.

host.conf has the following
order hosts,bind

Any suggestions on how to proceed?

Checking the logs is always a good starting point.
