Hello,
I have a ubuntu machine with two NICs. This has internet access through one NIC. The other is connected to a switch to which other machines connect. I have set up this machine to be a dhcp server and serve out local IPs to the connecting clients. I have successfully done this so that any machine connecting up to the switch gets an IP address (e.g. 192.168.0.2). This allows the client to connect to the host. However, these clients can not get on to the internet. In other words, they are limited to communication with the machines on a LAN. I presume that I have not the written the dhcpd.conf properly.
Here is my dhcpd.conf on the host
Code:
ddns-update-style none;
default-lease-time 259200;
max-lease-time 5184000;
# If this DHCP server is the official DHCP server for the local
# network, the authoritative directive should be uncommented.
authoritative;
option routers 192.168.0.1;
subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
group {
host amfortas{
hardware ethernet 00:1d:60:e2:61:1a;
fixed-address 192.168.0.2;
}
host lohengrin{
hardware ethernet 00:1F:D0:21:3C:66;
fixed-address 192.168.0.3;
}
}
}
and here is /etc/network/interfaces on lohengrin (a client)
Code:
auto lo eth0
iface lo inet loopback
iface eth0 inet dhcp
As I said, lohengrin can get an IP and can then ssh to and from the host. However, if I try to do something like "ssh 82.71.38.83" from lohengrin it does nothing (no errors messages, just hangs there until I control+c it), while I can successfully ssh into 82.71.38.83 from the host machine.
I presume there is something small that I am stupidly missing. Can anyone see what I have done wrong and how I could fix it?
