Very new to servers help with DCHP.


I have a computer running Ubuntu 5.10 and internet comming in on eth0 and an extra card in there eth1 now i want to run a DHCP server on eth1 for a small network (15-20 computers in a class room) I also need a fileserver on there but i assume samba will be easy to set up. Incase it matters all the other computers are Windows NT 4.0. If someone could take me through this step by step with even the smallest detail or posted a link to something like this it would be great.

Many thanks.

personally though i find dnsmasq much much simpler than dhcpd, especially for such a small network. not that dhcpd is exactly hard of course...
