[leaf-user] DHCP stuff (more)
I have a problem to one similar to an earlier thread posted by David Pitts earlier this month here: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=887924forum_id=5483 I have read that thread fully but found no answers - David, did you ever get to the bottom of it? 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.

RE: [leaf-user] DHCP stuff (more)
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!

RE: [leaf-user] DHCP stuff (more)
My ISP uses a regular IP address for it's DHCP server (65.252.128.3). I read something about DHCP TTL values being too low (16) for some large networks (ATT) but as I can traceroute from DOS to the above IP in 4 hops I assume this is not the case with me. I think I'll try Eigerstein and see if it works better as with your setup... otherwise, thanks and keep the ideas coming!

RE: [leaf-user] DHCP stuff (more)
Could I ask you to clarify a bit about what you have been trying? First, how many different computers have you tested? Did you try Gnatbox software and Dachstein on the same computer (or do you have the hardware version of Gnatbox)? Is the Win98 computer a different physical machine? Second, when you say My cable supplier changed my server location recently, what *exactly* do you mean? That they changed the IP address of your DHCP server? Or something else? In any case, were there any other changes coincident to the one you report on the ISP end? Third, -AFTER- the ISP made this change, what was the FIRST computer you connected directly to the service? I want to rule out the possibility that the reason the Win98 machine works and the other does (or others do) not is the use of MAC address authentication by the ISP. Fourth, you say that My ISP uses a regular IP address for it's DHCP server (65.252.128.3). When you have a connection (with the Win98 host), is this address on your external network? (If you are not sure what this means, then let us see the routing table of the Win98 host.) Finally, just to be clear, are we correct in understanding that prior to this change by the ISP, the Gnatbox worked just fine but you had never tried Dachstein on the connection? Also that prior to the change, the ISP had already been using DHCP assignment for your hookup? And that after the change, you were using the same hardware, unchanged, first with Gnatbox, then with Dachstein? If I seem a bit picky about all these questions ... successful troubleshooting is usually a matter fo finding the answer somewhere in the details, so we need to have the details right. Since Dachstein does usually work, we need to figure out what about your circumstances is unusual.
