I am trying to setup dnsmasq and am having some problems. When I start the service it says
dnsmasq: failed to create listening socket for 10.0.1.100: Cannot assign requested address
here is my dnsmasq.conf
dhcp-host=00:25:22:43:83:28,10.0.1.100
listen-address=10.0.1.100
strict-order
bind-interfaces
interface=wlp0s6f1u3
dhcp-range=10.0.1.110,10.0.1.120,255.255.255.0,12h
dhcp-option=6,208.67.222.222,208.67.220.220
I was using connman to handle my network connection on this computer. dnsmasq cannot start unless I stop connman. I can start both if I do this
1. comment out listen-address=
2. stop connman.service
3. start dnsmasq.service
4. start connman.service
5. comment in listen-address=
6. start dnsmasq.service
If I do those steps dnsmasq than shows my clients connected and it runs without error.

Is there a way to get dnsmasq to assign the server a static ip address. Right now I have to use my router to assign it first. I can than turn the server off on the router and dnsmasq will take over. I restart the server and I am back to the same problem.

Nevermind this is a dumb question I found the answers I was looking for. I was just not thinking it through well.
