    I am not getting any problems from my logs at all,

    The strange thing here is that if I run "service named stop" then nfs works.

    I manufacture PCs and you will be happy to know that I have already built
    approx 4000 systems loaded with FC1 / 2 Linux this year. To speed up the
    installations via the network I setup a dns server and a dhcp to assign IPs
    and host names to the computers. The problem I am faced with is possibly a
    config problem in my dhcp file. The server is not assigning the host names, I
    also can't use mac address statements because the PCs are always new. In
    other words I want the dhcp to assign an IP on a random basis, if for example
    the IP is 192.168.2.1 then make that PCs hostname station1.domainname.
    If a PC is unplugged from the network then it must make that IP immediatley
    available again.

    Here is my dhcpd.conf file could someone please give me a hint:

    +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
    ddns-update-style ad-hoc;
    default-lease-time 30; # 30 seconds
    max-lease-time 7200; # 2 hours

            option domain-name "teq.pinteq";
            option domain-name-servers 192.168.2.1;
            option broadcast-address 192.168.2.255;
            option routers 192.168.2.1;
            option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;

    subnet 192.168.2.0 netmask 255.255.255.0
     {
      range 192.168.2.10 192.168.2.50;
     }
    +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
