quick question about my dhcpd problem
 

I'm running rh 8.0, I have both the nic's set up and active, I can ping the outside world on the linux machine, my dhcpd.conf is ...

subnet 10.0.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 10.0.0.2 10.0.0.99;
}
subnet 100.119.92.83 netmask 255.255.255.255


ifconfig shows eth0 (thats the one that talks to the outside world in my case) has an inet of 100.119.92.83, bcast of 255.255.255.255 mask of 255.255.255.0


eth1 (the one that should talk to the rest of the computers on my lan)

has inet of 10.0..1 bcast of 10.0.0.255 mask of 255.255.255.0

if anyone has any ideas...i'd be might grateful...and the gratitude of a scrawny person is..umm nice.

yeah

What are you looking to do, setup a gateway/ firewall?

I have the same problem.
 

Hi want to setup mine as a firewall/gatway with eth0 (local) and eth1 (internet). DHCP client on eth1 but DHCP server on eth0.

I am very new to this so where does the dhcpd.conf file go and how do you create it?

Thanks

I have tried that but now I connto get to the web using the Redhat 8 Linux box.

Is there a way of doing this just using eithe the terminal window or using the GUI bits?

Or is there a very idiots guide to Redhat 8 Linux to set it up as a gateway to the internet. using a cable modem on eth1 and my local network is on eth0?

Any help would be great :)

Thanks in advance
