I've read a number of articles, googled the web for a few months and now attempting at turning my CentOS box into a gateway for the third time. Configured my dhcpd.conf and other related files and all seems to be working, I can have my M$ desktop leasing an ip address and all.
The problem is when I want to go out to the internet I keep on getting the Request Timed out error.

File should look something like this (I have trimmed lots out):
[herrold@ftp etc]$ grep -v ^# dhcpd.conf ddns-update-style none ; server-identifier ftp.eleven.lan ; option domain-name-servers 10.16.11.253, 66.195.224.112 ; option time-offset 300; default-lease-time 600; max-lease-time 14400; option option-128 code 128 = string; option option-129 code 129 = text; shared-network ELEVEN-LAN { option routers 10.16.11.1; # router being our router; option domain-name "eleven.lan"; option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0; allow booting; allow bootp; subnet 10.16.11.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 { pool { range 172.16.11.2 172.16.11.98 ; authoritative ; allow unknown-clients; } } } [herrold@ftp etc]$
