Okay, as everyone is well aware by now, I am attempting to set up a 
router for my home network using DHCP. Every step I take causes more 
problems. eth0 is successfully grabbing the IP address from the @home 
server, but my internal network is refusing to grab an IP from the 
server running on eth1. Ive added a route for 255.255.255.255 with no luck.

First, this is the contents of my /etc/network/interfaces (which 
works... thanks Phil):

----------------------
iface lo inet loopback

iface eth0 inet dhcp

iface eth1 inet static
   address 192.168.1.1
   netmask 255.255.255.0
   network 192.168.1.0
   broadcast 192.168.1.255
# gateway 192.168.1.50
----------------------

Now, here is my dhcpd.conf file
----------------------
default-lease-time 600;
max-lease-time 7200;

option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
topion broadcast-address 192.168.1.255;
option routers 192.168.1.1;

option domain-name-servers 24.3.232.33, 24.3.232.34;

option domain-name "blvue1.ne.home.com";

subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0
{
   range 192.168.1.105 192.168.1.250;
}
-------------------------

Im beginning to suspect a routing problem. But frankly, Im stumped.

In other words, HELP!!!

Jason
