Hello!

I'm setting up a network for a project I'm working on. This network is to contain one primary computer with two NIC's, one to the interner one to a switch for several other computers (basically a router).
I have set up DHCP properly on Kubuntu, and it's working well. All of the clients are running Linux as well. However, what would be the best way to set up internet access on the client machines inside the network?
The primary machine itself is actually behind another Linksys router. Would this impede internet connection?

Thanks ahead of time.

Hi there,

Welcome to LQ!!!

You have to enable packet forwarding on your DHCP server so that it can forward the packet that are destined for internet to your linksys router. Refer to this documentation: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/rhel-fe...sharing-howto/

Thanks for the welcome! I will check out that page, thanks for the quick reply!
I will follow up, thanks!

Sorry for the delay, but here's where I stand.

I added to /etc/sysctl.conf,

I'm using Kubuntu, so I'm thinking that's why the stop/save/start commands for iptables didn't work, but I issued .

So, on my client machines the DNS server is set up in /etc/resolv.conf, but prior to mentioning this it says, "Open your Windows / Mac / Linux computer networking GUI tool and point router IP to 192.168.1.254 (eth0 Linux IP)." In my situation, eth0 is to the router and eth1 is to a switch, and the static ip for eth1(underlined to show I did change the above command) is 10.0.0.1.
How exactly would I point the router ip to, presumably, 10.0.0.1?

Thanks for this, it pointed me in the right direction.
I found this page, and was able to get Internet on the client machines.

Thanks!

You're welcome. Enjoy Linux!!!
