The email above that you refer to talks about the situation where the address in the subnet declaration of dhcpd.conf doesn't match the address of the interface(s) dhcpd is told to listen on in /etc/default/dhcp3-server The subnet declaration of dhcpd.conf *has* to have the subnet, not the interface name. That's the way it works. Furthermore, /etc/default/dhcp3-server should be getting populated by a debconf question during package installation. If you lifted /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf *and* /etc/default/dhcp3-server from your production server and plonked it onto your test server, and then didn't have the same address on the same interface, then you'd have problems like those described in the above email you referred to. > I found this other bug 292357 related to in running dhcpd on laptops.
