I did see the same issue that people here have pointed out. I looked under /var/log/syslog (grepped) for any dhcp error messages, and found this:

option domain-name-server 192.
^

I simply deleted the line from the configuration file (since that was the one with an error) and the dhcp service started for me.
So i recommend looking at the logs to figure out the issue.

You say that the configuration file does not exist but have you tried looking in /etc/dhcp/dhcp.conf. Also what version of Ubuntu are you using as this tutorial was written for 12.04?

Thanks
Chris

My dhcp server runs when i gove the command:

mv@mv-Latitude-E5410:/etc/dhcp$ sudo start isc-dhcp-server
isc-dhcp-server start/running, process 3948

but fails to show up when i give “sudo netstat -uap”

I dont see : dhcpd
but I see these:
udp 0 0 localhost:domain *:* 1620/dnsmasq
udp 0 0 *:bootpc *:* 1616/dhclient

what to do ?

Go back and double check all the settings.

@Guh Check your configuration files as this is probably stopping the service from starting.
