dhcp help please

[parrotface]

trying to get dhcp running after creating AP and then trying to receive an IP
I think my problem is with DHCP
please could someone point me in the right direction as how to start and test if dhcpd is running
to start I tried dhcpd -f ath0
I get message No Subnet Declaration for ath0 (0.0.0.0)
I have set up subnet in /etc/dhcpd.conf
I am sure it is seeing the conf file because it crashed when I had a typo!
many thanks

I don't know the answer to what you're asking but what I would do is run up Wireshark and take a look at the DHCP frames, see what they're saying.

Hey parrotface,

first make sure you use the right device if u have more then one.
If fail, plz post your dhcpd.conf to help with further instructions.

I cant wait till I get the gold I purchased for so far im hearing freinds saying its a trustworthy site.

What the hell?! Keep this garbage out of here please, it contributes nothing to the OP's question and I can only imagine what this is in reference to. You wouldn't to be a Night-Elf Mohawk by any chance would you?

don't know what the -f flag is just do dhcpcd ath0, if it gets 0.0.0.0 the dhcp proable isn't turned on.
