      hi

      i have a strange problem. if i change something at the gateways and then i reload the configuration, sometimes the dhcp server stops and it does not work anymore until i reboot pfsense.
      the PCs are working. they had their releases, but on the smartphones, when they connect again to the wlan, they do not get an ip adress.

      here is the log:

      Dec 25 10:18:55 	dhcpd 		Can't bind to dhcp address: Address already in use
      Dec 25 10:18:55 	dhcpd 		Please make sure there is no other dhcp server
      Dec 25 10:18:55 	dhcpd 		running and that there's no entry for dhcp or
      Dec 25 10:18:55 	dhcpd 		bootp in /etc/inetd.conf. Also make sure you
      Dec 25 10:18:55 	dhcpd 		are not running HP JetAdmin software, which
      Dec 25 10:18:55 	dhcpd 		includes a bootp server.
      Dec 25 10:18:55 	dhcpd 		If you think you have received this message due to a bug rather
      Dec 25 10:18:55 	dhcpd 		than a configuration issue please read the section on submitting
      Dec 25 10:18:55 	dhcpd 		bugs on either our web page at www.isc.org or in the README file
      Dec 25 10:18:55 	dhcpd 		before submitting a bug. These pages explain the proper
      Dec 25 10:18:55 	dhcpd 		process and the information we find helpful for debugging..
      Dec 25 10:18:55 	dhcpd 		exiting.
