Someone correct me if I'm wrong here, but I the first place to start is checking you have a rule in the ruleset to allow the dhcp server through the firewall to hand out addresses ... Although not 100% sure its gonna work like this .. -----Original Message----- From: BD [mailto:thebd at comcast dot net] Sent: Tuesday, 30 November 2004 4:08 PM To: m0n0wall at lists dot m0n0 dot ch Subject: [m0n0wall] DHCP Relay not working? Hi, I'm currently running 1.2b2, attempting to get the DHCP Relay service setup. I've searched the mailing lists and haven't been able to find any information on it. Currently, I live in a dorm room at San Diego State University. What I'm trying to do, is setup m0n0wall as a firewall, but have the SDSU DHCP servers still assign IP addresses to computers behind the m0n0 firewall. However, I'm running into some problems with it. Right now I have a test network setup, with a m0n0wall based computer (celeron 733 with 128mb of RAM, no hdd, cd-rom distribution) connecting to the wall jack, through ethernet controller ed0 (WAN), then out to a hub through ethernet controller rl0 (LAN), which my laptop is currently plugged in to. I've setup m0n0wall successfully- I've turned off it's DHCP server and can still connect to it with a manual IP. I've also turned on the DHCP Relay service, and gave it the IP of the DHCP server that assigns IPs here. However, my laptop is still pulling 169 addresses. I think the problem may lie in the fact that my residence hall has four different IP ranges assigned by the DHCP server. the DHCP server is 130.191.200.55, while the ranges are 146.244.195.x, 146.244.196.x, 130.191.195.x, and 130.191.196.x. The m0n0 computer has a 130.191.196.x address. Additionally, the subnet mask for all four ranges is 255.255.255.0- so no ranges can really talk to one another. Each range has a router at .254- and I believe that is what is used to pass on the DHCP packets already to the DHCP server, but I'm not sure. I'm not sure what's causing DHCP relay not to work, but it may just be the funky layout of the network here. I can't run a different firewall distribution, as this computer has no hard drive- and I don't have the money to get one for it. Does anyone have any ideas on what I could change to get it working? Thanks. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: m0n0wall dash unsubscribe at lists dot m0n0 dot ch For additional commands, e-mail: m0n0wall dash help at lists dot m0n0 dot ch Dore Achievement Centres (Pty) Ltd - Hotline: 1300 55 77 11 www.dorecentres.com.au This e-mail message may contain confidential or privileged information and is intended solely for the individual to whom it is addressed.
