If isc is the selected one, are there any setup instructions? You have to edit the configuration file /etc/dhcpd.conf. It is fairly self-explanatory.

I haven't tried it with Mac clients yet, but I've ported ISC-dhcpd to an embedded system for an internet router* at work and *that* works fine with Mac OT clients. > Thanks for any help, Dive in! * The Internet Station from Dayna Communications. It features the first fully integrated DHCP and DNS system - my idea (and my code). I'm very proud of it! -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"
