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=887924&forum_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.
