If you are running something like Port sentry. The DHCP
request can be misinterputed as a scan and You will get
blocked.  I have a bunch of different rule scripts.  Can
remember were I got them at.  It was a link off www.tldp.org
Some allow everything to pass and some allow nothing to
pass.  And as a last minute thought make sure /etc/services
has DHCP port list and it is not REMed out.

And as I question to everyone else.  How do you run a DHCP
server on just one NIC? Red Hat 7.3 made me write a conf
file that has both cards listed.

What ports do I need to open on my iptables firewall to
allow Windoze
clients like W98 to obtain an IP address? Just opening up 67
and 68 didn't
do it. It works when I have no rules, so I know the config
is correct, it's
just the iptables rules I need to nail down. Anyone out
there have an
iptables rule(s) that works to allow this?

Thank you,
Mike
