Hi All,

Hey!

Sorry you dind't get my answer first because I sent in wrong format, so i post it again:

Here is a thought, don't setup dhcp server on a bridge. I tried to use
firewalling on this but it works differently than in linux where you can
control the traffic with --physdev-in -out, you can't determine that
which card where the traffic come from and which where it goes, i read
something in a handbook but dont remember atm so try to accept all
packet on the firewall. You can try to tell dhcpd which interface you
want to use but it's possible it won't work.

I have a routerboard with two ethernet ports (sis0 and sis1). I've been trying 
top setup a bridge and also run the dhcpd server on it. I've setup sis0 with an 
IP address and sis1 is just marked up in rc.conf. The bridge seems to work 
because if I statically assign an IP address to a laptop and connect it to sis1 
I can ping the routers IP which is what is assigned to sis0. But the laptop 
cannot get an IP using DHCP. tcpdumping on sis0 doesn't show me the DHCPREQUEST 
from the laptop that's coming in through sis1 (but it doesn't show me any 
traffic during ping request either but that's not broadcast so I guess that's 
expected).

Here's my rc.conf

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
inetd_enable="YES"
ifconfig_sis0="inet 10.1.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0"
broadcast parameter?
ifconfig_sis1="up"
ifconfig_ath0="down"

gateway_enable="YES"

this not requied for a bridge
dhcpd_enable="YES"
dhcpd_flags="-q"
try to setup the interface as i told
dhcpd_conf=/usr/local/etc/dhcpd.conf"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

And here is my dhcpd.conf

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
ddns-update-style ad-hoc;
default-lease-time 600;
max-lease-time 7200;

subnet 10.1.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
    range 10.1.1.64 10.1.1.250;
    option routers 10.1.1.1;
}
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Can anyone please let me know if there is something I'm doing wrong.

I hope it will help.
