Can someone please post the contents of their dhcpd.conf file....I can't seem to find mine. I'm getting file not found error when I'm trying to enable dhcp (dhcpd wlan0). I'm using FC2 kernel 2.6.6.

are you sure it's not dhcpcd wlan0 you want to run?

I think the solution to my problem is simple but still I can't figure it out. Here are my configs:

I tried adding a default route but got error (network unreachable).
I get the following error when I try to enable dhcp.

My /etc/sysconfig.conf file has nameserver specified. Also, I did not have any errors while installing windows driver using ndiswrapper.

I'm using FC2 kernel 2.6.6. Someone please help me!!!! Also, do I have to change any firewall settings? I have it enabled.
