Hi
I have two LAN ports (eth0 and eth1) on my Fedora 8 machine.I have connected Internet to eth0 and it gets internet on a static IP(125.63.88.216, GW 125.63.88.193)

Now i have installed DHCP server and started on eth1 with IP(192.168.0.1). Now I want to access internet on the machines that will be connected to the eth1. My client machines will get IP's in the range of 192.168.0.XXX

What are the configurations that i have to make inorder to get internet to my eth1 connected machines.

I'd suggest installing and configuring Squid, which does exactly what you want.

I tried squid, and i am not able to understand, can u please tell me how to configure squid. I have squid 2.6 on my machine.

Read the documentation on their web page, http://www.squid-cache.org/

There is a How-To section. Things vary quite a bit, depending on your environment, and what you're trying to do. Setting up a transparent Squid proxy server is fairly easy.

Using Squid is a great way of passing the net through to your clients. If you didn't wish to use a proxy to give them access, you could simply enable routing on your box by doing the following

echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

to make this a persistant change after a reboot add the below line to /etc/sysctl.conf

net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1

then to apply the new changes, run:

sysctl -p /etc/sysctl.conf

................

this will turn your box into a router/gateway for your clients. To allow dns to be passed on and give your clients a response, install bind.

yum install named (to install named)

chkconfig named on (to set named to start automatically on reboot)

service named start (to start named in your current session)


if you point your dhcp config to use 192.168.0.1 as its gateway and DNS, internet should start passing through to your clients.
