I'm shure that there is no other DHCP or BOOTTP server on my network:

1.- Server FC3, ppp0 to ADSL internet, eth0 local lan.
2.- Firestartter (latest Fedora Core edititon) running.

Any idea what's changed?

Everithing was working well before the up2date. I did'nt take notes of the update files.

For the moment I'm assigning statics IP to my tree local machines.

I'll really appreciate any help.

The problem was in the SELinus Policy, I just disbale de SELinux policy of dhcpd with "system-config-securitylevel" and everithing is working fine now.

I hope thios will help someone in the Fedora world.
