access denied? where did you see that message? If it is the syslog, then perhaps you need to allow machines on your internal network to access the internal network adaptor. assuming that dhcpd is actually a running process (verify with ps aux to see if the process is running). i.e. /sbin/ipchains -A input -s 192.168.1.0/24 -d 192.168.1.254 ACCEPT /sbin/ipchains -A output -d 192.168.1.0/24 -s 192.168.1.254 ACCEPT substitute your own network and adaptor addresses... Be certain that you do not 'masq' your internal network to the internet so that your DHCP requests are not passed thru to an external server best to use: /sbin/ipchains -A forward -s 192.168.1.0/24 -d ! 192.168.1.0/254 MASQ which will not masq packets broadcast and/or destined for the local subnet.
