DHCP / ip_masq_icq.o

[Craig White]

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.
