This is for all of you guru's out there.......


I've installed RH9 today. quite impressive, although i don't believe that it warrants a whole new version number personally..



but thats not the point. Today i set up IP masquerading from a howto i found in this forum and now i want to polish off my network. I've got a couple of questions that i'd like somebody to help me with......please...

1. Can i use a firewall configured in something like Guarddog with the masquerading rules

2. How can i set up my linuxbox to act as a DHCP server for my flat?

if i can get these sorted i'll be a happy man!

thats the link i got for the ip Masq. stuff. very useful!!!!!

check out www.shorewall.net -> iptables firewall script

dhcp: install dhcp (use apt-get from apt.freshrpms.net as package manager, easy!) .. and get a sample dhcpd.conf through google or something..

i've used shorewalll before and i wasn't impressed. although it was the version that came installed mandrake 9, and it was the reason i switched back to RH

i'll check out a sample dhcp.conf though....

hi,

Well, have heard this comment 'bout shorewall before. Have a look at the standalone version, you can run it on red hat if you want.
