I think I've got it working already. I just tried IP 212.204.0.0/255.255.0.0 for eth1 in dhcpd.conf. Now It's starting like it should.
I would like to know what I did wrong exactly, though.

Hi,
 
I'm trying to set up a dhcp server, but I can't get it to work.
The server has two interfaces, eth0 for LAN, with IP 192.168.0.1, eth1 for Internet, IP 212.204.143.159. The box is masquerading for a Win box.
Whenever I try /usr/sbin/dhcpd to start the daemon, it keeps nagging about "Address range 212.204.143.159 to 212.204.143.159 not on net 212.204.143.159/255.255.252.0" and the program exits. I get the IP for eth1 through dhcp from my cable-provider, and these numbers I got by "ifconfig eth1", and put them in dhcpd.conf.
 
Can someone please explain to me what I must do to get it right?
 
Thanks
