How to set iptables script for lan
Hello,
I have two PCs, first installed RH9 with two NICs: one eth0 to internet and 2nd eth1 cross-over to second PC, also installed with RH9. Please tell me how to set the dns/gateway/ip for these two PCs and their iptables scripts for internet / file / printer sharing ? Thanks, Matthew |
1. give eth1 of computer 1 an ip of 192.168.0.1
2. give eth0 of computer 2 and ip of 192.168.0.2 3. set the default route on computer 2 to point to computer 1 1. #ifconfig eth1 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 2. #ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 3. #route add default 192.168.0.1 to get these setting to stick on boot you could later the appropriate networking script (ifcfg-ethX) in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ Code:
example of my ifcfg-eth0 for dns just use the DNS servers that your ISP provides for you or with RH9 you COULD just turn on named and run a caching only server, it comes pre-configured with Red Hat. Code:
open up /etc/resolv.conf you only have to run 1 DNS server if you really want to run the caching only name server and that would be the one tied to the internet for firewalling you'll want the following basic rules (On the computer tied t the internet) Code:
get this stuff working, then consult samba for file and printer sharing, this stuff is all over these forums also.....try using the search for more help. i havent proof read this so there may be something wrong, but as i am an expert :) (kiddin sort of) it should work out fine. i must say that i have never use RH9 so something may be different about it. I'm giving my answers based on RH 7.3 |
Thanks for info.
I will try. |
Hello,
For PC1 eth1 , do I need to set gateway ip to the isp ? If I don't set, seems cannot connect to internet for eth0 ? eth0 is dynamic ip assigned by my isp. I wrongly set one to 192.168.0.1 and dns cannot be resolved and RH9 became very slow (sendmail / gnome etc). Can you have a brief explanation of the iptables rules and how it work ? Thanks, Matthew |
