Could you help me? My DHCP client (package name is dhclient) is still working even though I denied all network traffic on the eth0. The operating system is a SuSE Linux 7.2, the kernel is a 2.4.17. I tried kernel 2.4.18 with the same result.
The netfilter settings: iptables -P INPUT DROP iptables -P OUTPUT DROP iptables -P FORWARD DROP After executing these commands I loaded module 8139too then started the dhclient (/etc/init.d/dhclient start) When dhclient started I seen the eth0 is up and it has got the real IP address, and the /etc/resolv.conf contains the real DNS addresses :-o (the resolv.conf was empty before starting dhclient) regards, HKM English is a hard language... Harder than Perl ;-)
