Hi all,
my problem is a verry strange one, so i think i did a configuration 
failure. But i can't find him.
i made a listung of my iptables rules using the -L parameter and finaly 
a tcpdump wich should show you, that dhcp is working - well i couldnt 
post hte windowsxp bubble wich says that i got a wunderfull wlan 
connection...

Ok, i would be verry happy if anyone could help me blocking the dhcp server that i can trust iptables again.
