DHCP Server Configuration Problem

[DÔ Phan-Cam-Thach]

Thanks you so much for your answers.
You are right for the locations of the files. But my problem is that when i used gedit for modifying the file dhcpd.conf, the system didnt accept to enregister my modification. So that the file is null as the time it was created. So that, ofcourse, the server doesn't act the way it were.

The problem is that when i do like that, the system read the file /etc/dhcpd.conf. And now, i can not modify the content of this file (as i have just written in the last email)

Hi

You need to be root to start dhcpd, so two ways to do this on most
versions of Linux:

sudo service dhcpd start

su -
service dhcpd start
