I haven't done this.  I'll try it.  So far, it seems to be doing its thing.  
It's gone for 10 minutes without logging a message (whereas it used to do it 
evert minute before).

As for the DHCPD leases... there are a few things that I left out of my 
original mail.  My really big bad.

-Two of the machines on my interface are actually statically issued based on 
the MAC address using the host option.  So if I for-sure wanted it to stop, 
I could change all of my machines that use the static IP to... well, a static 
IP.

However I don't want to do this because I often swap around the network 
connections on my machines and it's easier to handle the changes if you use 
DHCP.

As for the leases, I had a max lease of 2 weeks but no default lease 
specified.  That will likely make a difference as well.

-I am using Bering, so everything that Brock and Tom said has been applicable 
so far.

I have a feeling that the problem will go away now.  Thanks everyone!

Ah, that might be the problem.  I looked at my interfaces file and saw
that my LAN interface did NOT have this enabled, however, the note at
the beginning of the interfaces file says that the DHCP setting is used
if the interface is managed by DHCP.


The interfaces file that I release says:

# dhcp - interface is managed by DHCP or used by
 --
#a DHCP server running on the firewall or
-
#you have a static IP but are on a LAN
#segment with lots of Laptop DHCP clients.
#

What version of Shorewall do you have?


I took the 'managed' term to
imply that the interface gets an address via DHCP, not that it serves
DHCPD.  As well, I was always able to get an IP without this entry - I
just got the errors described in the original poster's message when a
lease renewal was required.

I will try changing this setting tonight, although I'm betting the
'dhcp' entry just does what I did manually...(?)



It adds those rules but much earlier in the rule gauntlett.

The good news is I solved the problem! ;-)   But I still don't know how
I was able to get the lease in the first place!



I don't know either -- sometime when I'm bored, I'll look into it since 
I've seen similar things before.
