The only thing I was to locat is ..

Quote

subnet 192.11.0 mask 255.255.255.0 {192.118.11.10 192.168.11.30;}

It should have subnet as 192.11.0.0

It should be like this..

Code: [Select]

option domain-name-servers 192.116.110.28, 192.115.72.170;and

Quote

subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0;

You have to do give IP range also.. after that.. like

Code: [Select]

subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0  
                        {
                         192.168.1.10 192.168.1.90;
                         192.168.1.100 192.168.1.200;
                         }
And please make it your habit to do thing in a manner so that it is easily readable. :)
