[olug] dhcpd.conf help

I'm trying to setup a DHCP server for the first time on my home network. 
I'm running RH 7.3 and using DHCPD (Internet Software Consortium DHCP 
Server V3.0pl1). I've been able to start the server, but when I try to pull 
an IP with Win 2000, I don't get one. The leases file shows a lease, and 
the ipconfig /all results shows the IP of the DHCP server, but no address. 
I have a feeling I'm missing something in my dhcpd.conf file. Any ideas?

default-lease-time 600;
max-lease-time 7200;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
option broadcast-address 10.0.0.255;
option routers 10.0.0.1;
option domain-name-servers 68.13.16.30, 68.9.16.30;
ddns-update-style ad-hoc;
subnet 10.0.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
    range 10.0.0.40 10.0.0.50;
}

Thanks,
