Or do as 1,000s of other Shorewall users have done and add the 'dhcp' option to the eth1 entry in your /etc/shorewall/interfaces file. -Tom -- OK. Sorry if I overlooked the obvious. Like I said, it is actually configured with a static ip, like every other client on my network. These dhcpdisco

Maybe I don't have a problem, but at the very least, I hope my firewall logs don't have to fill up with rejected packets due to this issue. I have a replayTV 4k. These things have an awful dhcp implementation. They work most reliably when configured for a static IP but they still send out dhc
