Thanks Brad,

now how do I fix it :)
I cant see how this is possible,

the Linux box:
eth0 external IP DHCP assigned by ISP
eth1 internal IP Static 192.168.1.1

client 1:
static ip 192.168.1.2

client 2:
static ip 192.168.1.3

that about covers this network,

Would setting up a DHCP server on 192.168.1.1 fix this?

my biggest problem is the slow downs, would the kernel rejecting requests
constantly result in slow performance?


regards,

Martin.

This is simply a DHCP client on your internal network asking
the network for a DHCP address, and your server denying it.

Thanks,
Brad
