Hello,
The OS is Scientific Linux 6.3 (which is similar to redhat, centos and fedora) and I have installed dnsmasq with the following configuration

|     interface=eth1
    domain=hpclab
    expand-hosts
    dhcp-range=10.0.2.51,10.0.2.100,static
    dhcp-option=42,0.0.0.0
    dhcp-boot=pxelinux.0
    enable-tftp
    tftp-root=/var/lib/tftpboot
    dhcp-host=08:00:27:69:73:7A,ws04,10.0.2.51
|

and current node (which runs dnsmasq) has this ip

|     eth1  Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 08:00:27:A9:20:C0
          inet addr:10.0.2.15  Bcast:10.0.2.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          inet6 addr: fe80::a00:27ff:fea9:20c0/64 Scope:Link
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
|

However, I get error when trying to start the dnsmasq service

|     [root@localhost mahmood]# /etc/init.d/dnsmasq status
    dnsmasq is stopped
    [root@localhost mahmood]# /etc/init.d/dnsmasq start
    Starting dnsmasq:
    dnsmasq: failed to create listening socket: Address already in use
                                                       [FAILED]

netstat command shows the following information

|     [root@localhost mahmood]# netstat -anlp | grep -w LISTEN
    tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:111                 0.0.0.0:*

    tcp        0      0 :::80                       :::*

    tcp        0      0 ::1:631                     :::*

    tcp        0      0 :::51096                    :::*                        
LISTEN      1348/rpc.statd
|

What missconfiguration causes such error and how can I fix that?
