I attach a modified version here. I've changed the IPs to reflect your subnet
(mine is 192.168.1.*) and I've deleted the section I had that gave out fixed
ip addresses to certain mac addresses.

You'll have to edit the domain name options and the netbios name server
option yourself.

If this one gives a syntax error I'll send my original, unmodified dhcpd.conf
file.
