Hello all,

I am connected through the Internet via an ADSL connection and I have an =
Ethernet modem connected to eth1. I obtain an IP-adress dynamically via =
DHCP.
Moreover, I am using a script (which implements a Firewall and =
masquerading with iptables) which detects automatically this dynamic =
IP-address but I have to run this script every time a new IP-adress is =
given to eth1.

When do I have to launch this script ? only at startup or after too ?
What is the DHCP client that WBEL uses?
Where can I launch this script ? Does this DHCP-client as a startup file =
like /etc/ppp/ip-up for PPP connections

Thanks for any help.

Jean Lee
