Hrmn... we seem to be off topic. I already have a very robust firewall
written and iplemented (the box pumps about 2 M/sec all day long without a
hitch over my cable modem). My question was more of the nature: "I cannot
get DHCP working on my network (I have my roommate's computer that I would
him to use DHCP so that I don't have to constantly 'fix' his computer so
that he can get on the internet). Before I installed my firewall, it
worked perfectly. So what am I doing wrong that isn't allowing connections
or transmission of the udp information to his computer?"

If you would kindly read the script that I attached a few days ago (lemme
know if you wanna see it again) you will notice that I am dropping all
packets that are not to be going to either the ssh port or the identd port
(I'm an IRC junkie). The most unfortunate part of the @home cable service
is all the netbios trash that gets routed into my living room.

Thx
JStanley
