Hi musema. Welcome to the forums

a DHCP server in Ubuntu

configure some users to share files using the same server

Both possible, but note that they are necessarily dependent on each other .

To set up a DHCP server you have 2 alternatives:

• Dnsmasq, and
• dhcp-server

To share files and directories between users there are also several alternatives. If they are all using Linux I would recommend NFS, If there a Windows in the mix you may use samba.

Hope it help. Let us know how it goes.
Regards.

Told by whom?

The serverguide should provide some useful information. This link is for the 12.10 version - there are others available.
