Subject: firewall problem
Just recently, yesterday, verizon went off line for a while. Anyway,
when they came back online I couldn't get the dhclient to grab an address,
both cards could talk to the internal if I switched around the config
settings to swap the cards but no matter what, I couldn't get an address
through dhclient.
After disabling the firewall, which has worked fine since versions 6.3,
I was able to grab an address without any problems, re-enabling the
firewall and restarting again would again nolonger grab an address with
dhclient.
The only work around I can come up with is to disable the firewall,
restart the computer (which then grabs an address) then re-enable the
firewall and manually start it.
Does anyone have any similar problems, any ideas what could be causing a
perfectly working firewall/router to all of a sudden cease working
properly on boot up?
