What does your dhcpd.conf file look like and what are your ethernet 
settings.  Your subnet configuration must match one of the interfaces 
that you want it to listen to.  For example say I have 2 ethernets that 
has one public and one private subnet.  The public ip is 
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/27 and the private ip is 192.168.0.1/24.

In my dhcpd.conf file, I have the following configuration:

subnet 192.168.0.0  netmask 255.255.255.0 {
       authoritative;
       range 192.168.0.2  192.168.0.254;
       option routers 192.168.0.1;
       option domain-name "somedomain.com";
       option domain-name-servvers 192.168.0.1;
       default-lease-time 43200;
       max-lease-time 86400;
}

When I start the dhpcd server, it will bind to and listen on the private 
ip interface.  Doesn't matter if you only have 1 ethernet, just make 
sure that your subnet declaration matches the NETWORK address that your 
ethernet address is assigned.
