I use Linux, but:
	netstat -lup
# = --listening --udp --program (run as root)
should show you which program blocks dnsmasq by binding port 53 (domain)
like here:
udp        0      0 *:domain    *:*     3116/dnsmasq        
udp        0      0 *:bootps    *:*     3116/dnsmasq        
udp        0      0 *:tftp      *:*     3116/dnsmasq        

(It won't be dnsmasq!) Kill that process and start dnsmasq then.
