I haven't had any resolution to this. Eigerstein works fine so I don't feel especially exposed, but I would like to update. I became a little frustrated with is and decided I had more important things to do! I could get interested again though.
I would be interested to know what IP address your ISP is using as their DHCP Server. Mine is using some sort of restricted address that looks like it gets blocked? Doesn't happen in Eigerstein though. Would be interested to know how you go with this!

My cable supplier changed my server location recently and since then I have been unable to set up a firewall to connect to it's DHCP server. I was originally using Gnatbox but when this failed I tried Dachstein. The problem seems to be the same with each. I can connect to my ISP's DHCP server using Windows 98SE without problem, but using both Gnatbox and Dachstein, DHCP requests timeout without any offer or reply from the server. I have tested my NICs and they are fine and correctly orientated. I get the message DHCPDISCOVER on ETH0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 repeatedly until a final NO OFFERS WERE RECEIVED message. Ping requests to external IPs fail on a Type 1 error. Ping requests and DHCP on the local network work fine. I have left DHCLIENT.conf setup as default as I have not needed to supply any specific information from Windows or Gnatbox in the past. Any help is most appreciated - I'm surfing unprotected at the moment and I don't like it :( Roki ***ADDITIONAL INFO*** Dachstein 1.0.2 / Linux 2.2.19-3-LEAF ip addr show: 1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP> mtu qdisc noqueue link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00: brd 00:00:00:00:00:00 Inet 127.0.0.1/8 brd 127.255.255.255 scope global lo 2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pf ifo_fast qlen 100 link/ether 00:40:95:65:67:3f brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 3: eth1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pf ifo_fast qlen 100 link/ether 00:40:95:65:67:3e brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 192.168.1.254/24 brd 192.168.1.255 scope global eth1 ip route show: 192.168.1.0/24 dev eth1 proto kernal scope link src 192.168.1.254 ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: Dice - The leading online job board for high-tech professionals.
