Is this box running a firewall (iptables or ipchains)? Its been a while since I've worked with IPtables, and I don't have it installed on my box, but I think the command is IPtables -L to list all the rules in place. I had an issue once with my firewall, for whatever reason, wouldn't allow DHCP on the internal network. even though DHCP didn't require traversing the firewall. let us know how it turns out. I hope this helps. -Mike
