    I have dhcp3-server installed and configured, but I have to manually start the service every time the computer restarts. How can I make it start automatically on startup? I don't see a dhcp*.conf in /etc/init, and I have the correct interface specified in /etc/default/dhcp3-server

      What happens when running sudo service dhcp3-server start? If you're asked to check syslog, what does it say?

      The init file is "/etc/init.d/dhcp3-server" not "/etc/init.d/dhcp3-server.conf" It might also be useful to share the contents of your "/etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf" file with us.

      It starts fine using the 'service' command after the system boots fully.
