Greetings

This is my first mail to this group. I am a newbie at SuSe 7.1. or any other distro. Please picture this. I have 3 pc's at home. 2 of them are window$ boxes 1 is SuSe 7.1. I would like to give both windows pc a ip address wich is not fixed. In NT this is done with a few mouseclicks and a little bit of typing. In Suse it should be done with dhcpd. and weeks of probing the internet. With kcmdhcpd i tried as root to assign address range 192.168.17.2 192.168.17.10 on to eth1 with ip 192.168.17.1/255.255.255.0. When i type in /usr/sbin/dhcpd start it displays the message "192.168.17.2 192.168.17.10 not on net 192.168.17.1/255.255.255.0"  What do i do wrong and is there a tool to diagnose & correct this problem. If so where?
If someone has a fix for this please email me directly at;

ps
fixed ip-addresses is not my intention or an option
