Iff you are running the DHCP server or client on a computer that's also acting as a firewall, you must be sure to allow DHCP packets through the firewall. In particular, your firewall rules should allow packets from IP address 0.0.0.0 to IP address 255.255.255.255 from UDP port 68 to UDP port 67 through. They must also allow packets from your local firewall's IP address and UDP port 67 through to any address your DHCP server might serve on UDP port 68. Packets from relay agents on port 67 to the DHCP server on port 67, and vice versa, must be permitted. When you choose the high security option, you are in effect denying all UDP packets. You can specifically let thru UDP packets to port 67 & 68 in your firewall rules (high security option). -- ragOO, VU2RGU<->http://gnuhead.dyndns.org/<->GPG: 1024D/F1624A6E Helping to keep the Air-Waves FREE Amateur Radio Helping to keep your Software FREE the GNU Project Helping to keep the W W W FREE Debian GNU/${kernel} _______________________________________________ linux-india-help mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-india-help
