Philippe:
With my ISP, they have the DHCP, not me. It's like me and everyone around
me is on a giant network. So, to avoid allowing other "customers" in my
same area access, I need to block them out. The easiest way to do this is
to deny access to everyone to start, and then open what I need to allow
in. Obviously, one of the machines I need to allow in is the DHCP server
itself. If it needs to renew my lease, or something, it needs to be
allowed access through.
I hope this is a little clearer.
