It means exactly what is says - that the two different PCs are able to obtain DHCP leases with no error messages or apparent problems. 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). > > 1.

Testing with two other PCs was an 'attempt' to show that the wireless setup is working, but of course I do need to get it connected directly to try that. I haven't used DHCP at all before, and the reason I posted was in case I was doing something obviously wrong with pump/dhclient. > > 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.

I've tested this with shorewall stopped as well. regards Dave ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: See the NEW Palm Tungsten T handheld.
