you can probably delete this line; it may not matter since it
should be overridden by the subnet block below, but either way
its a conflicting value..

For some reason it is trying to use 192.168.0.1 as the server
instead of 192.168.0.4... Try adding

  server-name="192.168.0.4";

to the subnet block in your dhcpd.conf.  If you still get nfs/portmap
errors then here is a few things to check:

_ is the server using NFS v2 or v3?  (don't use TCP either)
_ what does /etc/exports look like?
_ what does the output of "rpcinfo -p" show?
_ is tcpwrappers running on the server?  if yes then you need
an entry in /etc/hosts.allow:

portmap:      192.168.0.
