I wasn't! It was a typo and it was cut/pasted so subsequent entries, so
thanks for spotting it as it's been driving me crazy.
Next questions (assuming it now works):
How come WINDOWXP-PC did get the address 192.168.1.194? Very weird.
How come dhcpd didn't complain; even when I ran it with the -t option to
check the config file, and the -d option to explain exactly what it was
doing. Of course I didn't want to assign 192.16*9*.1.229, but I can't
see why it didn't just do what I asked OR complain it was illegal? Just
silently ignoring it wasn't very helpful.
Regards, Frank.
