Does "seems to work fine" mean that these "two different PCs" are able to get DHCP leases from your ISP? Or do you have a lesser standard for "work fine"? If the second, there are a couple of other things to try (aside from the test I imply in the first, if you can do it).Hi all,I'm having some problems with dhcp setup. I have a Bering firewall, which works fine as far as I can test it (rc4). I'm trying to get an ip address from a cable provider (Blueyonder, UK). I'm using a two wireless access points in bridge mode to connect the LEAF box with the cable modem. I've tested this wrireless bridge with two different PCs, and it seems to work fine.
1. If you connect the LEAF host, does it too "work fine" ... that is, do successfully whatever the 2 PCs do successfully in your tests?
2. If you connect the LEAF host directly (that is, via a UTP-based NIC and a suitable cable ... I don't know if the cable modem requires a normal or crossover cable) to the cable modem, is it able to get a DHCP lease from the ISP?
From what you have told us, we (and you) do not really know where in the overall setup the point of failure is (unless, of course, "seems to work fine" did mean the first of the two possibilities I indicate). These tests should let you pin that down.
The other thing to check is whether whichever firewall package you are using is set to allow DHCP replies, particularly ones that come from non-routable IP addresses (many ISPs use 10.b.c.d addresses for DHCP servers), to enter your router. Does your firewall package log any DROPs associated with DHCP responses?I've registered the LEAF external nic mac address with Blueyonder, but I can't get any DHCP server response. I tried pump, then dhclient. When using pump, I thought maybe the mac address wasn't being sent, as the hw_address field was blank in the log. But, dhclient seems to send it fine (maybe they both do, and my problem lies elsewhere) The logs from pump and dhclient are below.
I've deleted the logs since they don't suggest anything to me, other than confirming that you get no lease responses.
