Alt Jan 13, 2010 #2 For dhcp and dns you dont need strong firewall, so i recommend to use default firewall (ipfw).
OP hamedx Jan 13, 2010 Thread Starter #3 Alt, thanks for reply , so in what situation we need firewall ? and what about the difference ?

Not sure whether IPF is still being developed. hamedx said: 2- and which one of these are better to install ? Click to expand... It's hard to say which one is better, but most users use IPFW or PF. I'd recommend PF though. hamedx said: i want to install dhcp and dns in my box so what should i do ? Click to expand... Use a block all rule, then open up the ports that are required. For DNS it's 53, and 67 and 68 for DHCP.
