Not on the server, by it turned out they were running on the client even though I didn't want them to (which I seem to remember could also cause problems like this, now that you mentioned it) - they had simply been enabled by mistake. This was one difference from other hosts that I failed to spot.
However, event though I have now disabled the services, I'm still not able to start the network. I have tried (in the order indicated): 1. 'chkconfig iptables off; chkconfig ipchains off', then reboot 2. 'anaconda --reconfig' - set "No firewall" in security config. 3. Removed iptables, ipchains and related packages from the system via 'rpm -e' 4. Rebooted several times, retried config update etc. Is there anything else I must do to get rid of the packet filters? Or could the DHCP failure have a different cause? - Toralf _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
