If it's not starting, you might have something mis-configured.

It seems like the local IP defaults to a different subnet than the DHCP
default range, which would cause the DHCP server NOT to start.  (one is
192.168.0 and the other is 192.168.1?)  I don't remember the details,
but I'm pretty sure you have to tweak the defaults somewhere.

I think you can start the DHCP server manually with the command:

  /etc/init.d/dhcpd start

It still won't start until you fix whatever is preventing it from
running, but it may provide useful error messages.  

If no errors are displayed, try this:

  sh -x /etc/init.d/dhcpd start
