One more time. Lynn, as you suggested I checked out the RCDlinks= parameters in Shorewall and uDHCPC init.d scripts. Unfortunately, I didn't make too much sense of them. What number indicates the order in which the scripts will run?
I also noticed that the start script I had included a note that it only worked for the Mountain distros. So I checked out the 'other' uDHCP package on your site and it says the same thing. So I'm a bit confused about which script is for the non-Mountain distros (Bering in my case). I also noticed that the first character in the RCDLinks= line for your uDHCP packages is an S where for most others it seems to be a 2. I googled but couldn't find any info on RCDLinks options so I thought I would just ask! Thing is, I'm confused about the whole RCDLinks thing and how it relates to the uDHCP start script. Any advice you can give me? Thanks, as always.

My package includes both the server and client rolled into a single binary saving some extra space. I believe the other one is only the server. > 2.

Does Shorewall run before DHClient? Your interfaces should come up, then the dhcp client is run, then Shorewall. Check the "RCLINKS=" parameter in dhclient and Shorewall /etc/init.d/ scripts.. dhclient should have a lower number. What do the logs say happens during the initial attempt? > 3.

I used default packages which have the loc > interface at 192.168.1.254 and the DMZ interface at 192.168.1.100 Yes, you can't route between 2 interfaces unless the subnets are different. The notable exception to this is proxy-arp. -- ~Lynn Avants Linux Embedded Firewall Project developer http://leaf.sourceforge.net ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld =omething 2 See! http://www.vasoftware.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ leaf-user mailing list: [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user SR FAQ: http://leaf-project.org/pub/doc/docmanager/docid_1891.html ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! http://www.vasoftware.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ leaf-user mailing list: [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user SR FAQ: http://leaf-project.org/pub/doc/docmanager/docid_1891.html
