DHCP Problems, please help.

[imported_bt4pf355]

So I've got a question about setting up a DHCP3 server. Mostly, I just want to use kermetasploit and airbase-ng. In order to use this do I need buy a domain or use a pre-existing domain name and/or server????? I really don't get it, and yes I googled the living shit out of it. Here is the syslog error:

root@bt:~# /etc/init.d/dhcp3-server start
Starting DHCP server: dhcpd3* check syslog for diagnostics.
failed!
root@bt:~# tail /var/log/syslog
Jan 26 10:49:15 bt dhcpd: Wrote 0 leases to leases file.
Jan 26 10:49:15 bt dhcpd:
Jan 26 10:49:15 bt dhcpd: No subnet declaration for eth0 (0.0.0.0).
Jan 26 10:49:15 bt dhcpd: ** Ignoring requests on eth0. If this is not what
Jan 26 10:49:15 bt dhcpd: you want, please write a subnet declaration
Jan 26 10:49:15 bt dhcpd: in your dhcpd.conf file for the network segment
Jan 26 10:49:15 bt dhcpd: to which interface eth0 is attached. **
Jan 26 10:49:15 bt dhcpd:
Jan 26 10:49:15 bt dhcpd:
Jan 26 10:49:15 bt dhcpd: Not configured to listen on any interfaces!

}

Here is my dhcpd.conf file:

default-lease-time 600;
max-lease-time 7200;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
option broadcast-address 192.168.1.255;
option routers 192.168.1.254;
option domain-name-servers 192.168.1.1, 192.168.1.2;


subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 192.168.1.10 192.168.1.100;
range 192.168.1.150 192.168.1.200;
}

and my ifconfig for eth0:

eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:1b:24:3c:b4:54
UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)

I'm loving backtrack and everything about it but I'm not able to get this working... it just keeps failing...
Thanks in advance

It seems like the starting of the daemon via init.d won't work because dhcpd is expecting to listen on a specific interface. Have a look here for an example of how it should work when you do specify an interface to listen on:

Thanks, Nick. Very insightful article.

I still seem to get errors but I think I'll study up on dhcp before trying to configure this file again because I do not feel I understand it as I should. Thanks.

Also, what file would I specify what interface it should listen on?

A DHCP Server needs to have a static IP Address assigned... generally one that's in the same subnet as the addresses you are trying to lease.
