[clug] Re: Smoothwall/ADSL/DHCP

[Tomasz Ciolek]

 At first glance I would suspect that you have not allowed the DHCP
 access to the "orange" or that the DHCP server is in fact NOT listening
 on the ornage interface.

 I cannot say more without havin a look at the rules. How about you
 bring the machine to clug and we'll all have a go?

It may be that Green hosts will want to look into the Orange network also.  At time, the church also hosts meetings/conventions during which visitors are granted access to the Orange network for their laptops, etc.
