'''NOTE:''': For Ubuntu, there is a [http://bugs.amahi.org/issues/932 dhcp bug]. To work around it, it must be done manually via the /etc/init/isc-dhcp-server.conf file.
Otherwise, the DHCP server in the HDA can be stopped by doing this:
* Once there, find the DHCP Server and unselect both "Watchdog. DHCP Server is being monitored 24x7" and "Start at Boot time"
* Then stop it. It will be stopped forever
'''NOTE:''' If this does not permanently stop it in Fedora, you can also rename the init script (dhcpd) as a work around. On boot it cannot find it to execute, but you will see an error in the boot log.
In short, a few of the nicer features of your HDA will not be available. You can still point your machines to the DNS server in the HDA and get some of the benefits, like nice URLs for your HDA-provided services. This is not a supported configuration for things like [[Netboot]].
