Thanks for your helpful information and suggestions. I find it
interesting that you'd recommend wordpad. I usually avoid using any
editors from M$ which is why I generally use gVim or Notepad++. I'll
try the cat -v and see what happens.

hi,
avoid editing config files in windows whereveer possible
- if you must, then use wordpad
you can use 'dos2unix' command to clear some windows junk
away....if you want to see what the file really looks like
then 'cat -v dhcpd.conf' and it might show a few of the nasties
left behind.
I use 'vi' mainly for editing - very powerful, great regular expression
support - very handy when you've got to change IP address details
on 50 or so ranges.
