{{Admon/tip | Troubleshooting Tip: | Troubleshooting produces the best results when you are methodical in your approach. Try to fix the first error mentioned before fixing subsequent errors. Often the first error may cause multiple error messages as the configuration file is parsed. When you think you have fixed the first error try to start your service and if it fails check the log again. Fix one error at a time.}}
* When you have successfully started your service answer the Investigation 4 question in your log book. You may want to include all of the syntax you used.
=== Investigation 5: How do I test my dhcpd on my virtual network?===
{{Admon/note | Note! | Complete the following steps on your fedora1 and fedora3 VM's.}}
* On a fedora3 terminal window make sure that the command <code>tail -f /var/log/messages</code> is running.
* On fedora2 change the configuration of the eth1 (or your interface name) to receive dynamic address configuration
* Save your changes and restart <code>NetworkManager</code>
* Observe the messages that get logged. You should see output similar to the following:
