I edited dhcpd.conf...

now how do I make the changes take effect? I don't have to reboot the linux box, do I? I think I need to restart inetd or something but I don't know how.

Thanks in advance...

You just need to restart dhcpd, which differs per distribution. In Debian '/etc/init.d/dhcp restart', it's probably not very different for others.

Too late . I decided to hell with it and rebooted the computer. Everyone but me and two other people have figured out how to go home early today anyway, so it didn't matter if I rebooted the file server.

But thanks again. You can take Linux to the man, but you can't take the Windows out of him....

I use Debian, and for some reason, Debian has trouble restarting DHCP like that... To restart it, I have to kill DHCP (By finding the PID and using the kill command) and then starting it again.

Never having drawn dirt, er, used DHCP from a Linux box (inside joke), I don't know, but would have guessed a kill -HUP dhcp_Proc_ID would have done it. That would have been the first thing I tried. If it truly killed it, just restart it. If it didn't kill it, the -HUP usually signals a process to reload its configuration data.

Hey, RagManX. I've been drawing maps like crazy (well, yesterday). Luckily these didn't involve piles of dirt.
