Hi there Janina. First, do let the list or at least me (write to me direct if you'd like) know how you do with the ip masquerading stuff you wrote in about last week, I've been following that thread with alot of interest. In regard to your other question about having dhcpd start only on the single interface you want it to send and receive on, for example, I believe that the following bit of info is what you're looking for. Of course, if it doesn't work, let me know. You need to edit a file which influences dhcpd's behaviour. That file is: /etc/rc.d/init.d/dhcpd Down under where it says starting daemons there'll be a line which will read something like: daemon /usr/sbin/dhcpd $args Replace that line with something like the following, of course, replace the interface eth1 with something else if needed. daemon /usr/sbin/dhcpd eth1 Then, of course, do service dhcpd restart to restart the daemon though you're a more experienced Linux user than I am so you undoubtedly already know that part. Hth and good luck!
