Hello,
How are your network cards set up? Am I right in thinking that eth1 is
your connection to your router, and eth0 is your connection to the
switch? A dump of /etc/network/interfaces would help here. You seem to
be trying to start dhcpd3, which is a dhcp server. Have you assigned the
interface it is running on a static ip? I suspect that one of your
interfaces is misconfigured in /etc/network/interfaces.
