Just a point of order here: if you have the states RELATED, ESTABLISHED set for ACCEPT 
in your iptables INPUT chain, why would you need to open up port 67? Doesn't your box 
send the syn packet to the DHCP server and the DHCP server ACKs it (ip_conntrack sees 
it as RELATED then ESTABLISHED)? The beauty of having a stateful firewall is that you 
don't have to poke gaping holes in it!!
