Well written with examples that actually work :) However they will give you no information about DHCP. DHCP has nothing to do with firewalls, packet filtering or masquerading. There is a mini HOWTO I believe about setting up ISC's dhcp server and client under Linux. Mandrake includes these packages on the CDs . I have not had the need to set up a server so I cannot give better information about the process, but it would be necessary to install dhcpd and dhcp-client, and possibly dhcp-relay if you need to bounce packets across a subnet to the dhcp server. I would suggest the man pages (of course :) ) as well as ISC's web site http://www.isc.org/dhcp.html for further information since you are already spending the weekend in documentation... :) -- Matthew Micene Systems Development Manager Express Search Inc. www.ExpressSearch.com ____________________________ A host is a host from coast to coast, and no one will talk to a host too close Unless the host that isn't close is busy, hung or dead
