Hi guys
this is what did it. It seems that port 67 udp is the problem this is the server listening port apparently the Client port 68 was already open on my firewall. #$IPTABLES -t filter -A INPUT -i $LAN_IFACE -p udp --dport 67 -j ACCEPT Thanks Mike -----Original Message----- From: Mike Burger [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, 5 December 2001 14:12 To: 'Redhat-List (E-mail) Subject: Re: DHCP & IPTables on 7.1 Actually, I only wanted DHCP for my internal interface...but until I spefically added accept rules for udp and tcp on ports 67 and 68 on the internal interface, my server/firewall would not accept dhcp requests, nor dole out the addresses. And that, specifically, was the problem. And I'm 100% sure that's the problem with Mike's network, too.
