Dunno ;-(. Years ago, when I set up the firewall, I needed to use dhcp in the interface, and for some reason I carried the pre-firewall addresses over. If I drop them, how do I define IP addresses on my local LAN should I add other local hosts to it? In otherwords, how do I define the 192.168.1.1 address for the local host if I remove these static addresses? > > # ifconfig > > eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:A0:C9:B4:D5:A8 > > inet addr:192.168.111.2 Bcast:192.168.111.255 > > Mask:255.255.255.0 > > inet6 addr: fe80::2a0:c9ff:feb4:d5a8/64 Scope:Link > > UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 > > RX packets:13510 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 > > TX packets:8205 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 > > collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 > > RX bytes:18629272 (17.7 MiB) TX bytes:601099 (587.0 KiB) > > > > lo Link encap:Local Loopback > [snip] > > To summarize what I see: ... > interfaces configures eth1 using dhcp (the other options are ignored). > If you wish to use static, change dhcp to static.

Didn't help. Changed to 192.168.111.2 in /etc/hosts and removed the static addresses in /etc/network/interfaces. Messages out still generate the error: No IP address found for host [EMAIL PROTECTED] Incidentally, shouldn't this be in the form of an e-mail address rather than, say, just my domain name? > I've never used a hardware firewall (I've always been on dial-up) nor > dhcp.
