Over the last week I have 6 entries in my system logs for the DHCPREQUEST on my FC3 PC. It is hooked into my home network and has the .190 IP address. The FC3 machine is not running DHCP or any other type of server applications that I know of, but is running Firestarter trusting other PCs on my network but not .1. The .1 address is my fireswall PC running Smoothwall which also handles NAT an DHCP for my home network. On the Smoothwall PCs logs I see no attempted attempted intrusions through the SNORT log. Tried Google and searching the fedora-list archives but couldn't come up with a satisfactory answer as to why I have these entries. I have 3 of these entries below which occurred during reboots so I understand these are just the PC obtaining a IP from the DHCP server on .1. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Mar 14 12:33:00 Jenny dhclient: DHCPREQUEST on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- I have 3 entries, one each on different days like this: ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Mar 18 17:52:32 Jenny dhclient: DHCPREQUEST on eth0 to 192.XXX.XXX.1 port 67 Mar 18 17:52:33 Jenny dhclient: DHCPACK from 192.XXX.XXX.1 Mar 18 17:52:33 Jenny dhclient: bound to 192.XXX.XXX.190 -- renewal in 81026 seconds. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Are these entries just my FC3 machine renewing it's IP address with the DHCP server, or could these be symptomatic of other problems on my home network? Thanks
