In your configuration file, the ranges defined in the
client-ip-range and the ip-pool sections overlap.
Just set different ranges and it show work.

For example:
 [client-ip-range]
-192.168.2.0/24
+192.168.3.0/24
 
 [ip-pool]
 gw-ip-address=192.168.2.1
 192.168.2.150-250

Note that if you're only using PPPoE, then the client-ip-range
is of no use since the client doesn't any IP when starting the
request.
