So you mean the '1' in the 'option broadcast-address 192.168.1.255;' 
line.  I've corrected that and restarted dhcpd but the situation is 
still to same.   Oh, and here's my routing table if it helps:

king:/proc/sys/net/ipv4# route -n
Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use 
Iface
192.168.0.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 eth1
66.26.80.0      0.0.0.0         255.255.248.0   U     0      0        0 eth0
0.0.0.0         66.26.80.1      0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 eth0

I shouldn't have to use the 'route add -host  255.255.255.255  dev eth1' 
command to this correct (the was in the DHCP mini-howto)?   That  just 
seems overkill.

Btw, what's a good starter source that takes things at a slow pace on 
networking?  I want to get this bugger running first but when I have 
more time I'd love to delve deeper into the subject.

thanks,
