Cisco WLAN controller "error in setting DHCP scope network and netmask"

trying to setup the internal DHCP and I keep getting this error "error in  setting DHCP scope network and netmask". I've used the management port for the network address and still the same error. I also tried a address other than the management ip but in the same subnet.

this allows me to apply the settings without the error
Pool Start Address   192.168.6.10
Pool End Address   192.168.6.100
Network   192.168.6.0
Netmask 255.255.255.0

is not giving ip out though. set dhcp in management interface to itself.
Is the WLAN you've configured using the management interface?

yes
Can you turn off authentication for the WLAN and try again?

putting the dchp on a WLAN without authentication works ?,
sorry went on vacation.
Ok so you're putting in the wrong key, or your client doesn't like the authentication/encryption you're using.

What options are you setting in the WLAN Authentication Layer2 tab?

worked only once tried again and nothing, but that was the first sign of it working. I was using Authentication layer 2 tab.

Forgot to mention I do have a windows 2003 dhcp server on the lan which is what is giving the address instead of the controller
What settings did you put in the Authentication Layer 2 page??

Can you send me the config from the WLC??

So do you want the WLC to give DHCP, or the Server 2003 box?

WLC dhcp for WLAN's. 2003 still active for hardwire devices.
