actually i was trying to setup a machine which will assign ip addresses dynamically and also control net access thru iptables. i ensured that a machine with a mac add will be assigned ip add as given by me by specifying the following in dhcpd.conf host hostname { hardware ethernet 00:B0:D0:64:43:48; fixed-address 192.168.0.10; } and iptables -A FORWARD -i eth1 -o eth0 -s 192.168.0.10 -j ACCEPT in the firewall config file. now was slightly worried that if 192.168.0.10 machine is switched off, someone can assign 192.168.0.10 to his/her machine and access net. my method is not good though, and would appreciate if anyone can provide something better. thanks vivek ================================================ To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe in subject header.
