    Whichever interface is in the 192.168.1.0/24 subnet. Although since you've excluded all the addresses DHCP won't have any addresses to assign.

    remove: ip dhcp excluded-address 192.168.1.6 192.168.1.255

    change: ip dhcp excluded-address 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.5 to ip dhcp excluded-address 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.6

    The interface you specify with the default-router command becomes the default gateway for the network. So which ever interface you want to have that DHCP work with, make sure it is put in as your default-router.

    Eg.

    Fa 0/0 what i want my peers to query for a IP address.
    int fa0/0
    ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0
    no shut
    
    ip dhcp pool 1
    network 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0
    default-router 192.168.1.1
    
    ip dhcp excluded-address 192.168.1.1
    

    This would makes 192.168.1.1 not able to be handed out by the DHCP service, and gives the rest of the addresses in the 192.168.1.0/24 network available to be distributed to hosts attached to fa0/0.

    Maybe I'm misreading this, if so, I apologize....

    You can have your Default Gateway be the address of one interface and have your DHCP Network from a different interface.

    He could have the following and it should work (assuming the interfaces exist and are configured as such).

    ip dhcp pool test
    network 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0
    default-router 10.10.0.1

    kalebksp is correct in sayingWhichever interface is in the 192.168.1.0/24 subnet.
