Thanks for the tip, Pete!

This probably isn't a good idea.

Your gateway should have a static IP address on its local interface - you
mentioned 10.0.0.1 earlier, so make sure it's configured with that.  If
it's alsobe dynamic, then that may be the cause of that no interface to bind
to problem.

Now, setting the range as 10.0.0.0 - 10.0.0.253 means the DHCP server
will happily hand out the gateway's IP to another client.  Bad. :-) I
usually set my ranges to things like 10.0.0.10 - 10.0.0.100 to give me
leeway for other static servers if I want to add them later.
