I'm having trouble configuring and starting ISC DHCP server on my machine. I'm running Ubuntu 11.10 desktop edition. I installed ISC DHCP by running

$ sudo apt-get install dhcp3-server

My machine has two NICs:

eth0, which is connected to a router for Internet access, that has an IP address of 192.168.2.2.
eth1, where I want dhcpd to serve requests, for a subnet.

I have modified /etc/default/isc-dhcp-server to point to eth1:

$ cat /etc/default/isc-dhcp-server

# Defaults for dhcp initscript

INTERFACES="eth1"

I have configured dhcpd for a simple subnet:

$ cat /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf

ddns-update-style none;

default-lease-time 600;

max-lease-time 7200;



subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {

  interface eth1;

  range 192.168.0.50 192.168.0.100;

  option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;

  option broadcast-address 192.168.0.255;

}

With this configuration, dhcpd fails to start for me:

$ sudo /etc/init.d/isc-dhcp-server start

* Starting ISC DHCP server dhcpd

* check syslog for diagnostics.               [fail]



$ tail /var/log/syslog

Aug 15 15:29:45 eptc4 dhcpd: Not configured to listen on any interfaces!

Am I missing a step? I don't understand why dhcpd is complaining that it's not configured to listen on any interfaces.

This is my first time setting up DHCP. I've spent three days reading manuals and forums and think I've done everything right, but keep getting the same error. Any tips to get me on the right track are greatly appreciated!
