Shorewall users - Mar 2011 - Problems moving from 4.0.6 to 4.4.6 and to a new system **SOLVED**

Folks,

I found my problem and it was NOT Shorewall!

If one wants an IP address assigned via DHCP from a server the dhcp3-client 
package MUST be installed. Once I figured that my firewall is BOTH client AND 
server it became clear what I needed... so attention to detail was once again MY
problem.

There was nothing wrong with my configuration files (either for ubuntu or for 
Shorewall) and everything works as expected.

Thanks for all the help and pointers y''all provided!

VERY happy now!

Cheers,
Jay
