I have two interfaces on my ubuntu 8.04 machine, eth0 and eth1. eth0 is for internet(working) and eth1 uses dhcp with a static ip(not working) for my other computers on the network.
My windows machine can't ping domain names or ips when connected to eth1. It acquires an ip address from my dhcp3 server and can ping the static ip, but nothing on the internet. I also tried disabling ufw.
The problem was that I didn't have port forwarding enabled. I disabled ufw because it was going to cause problems moving forward with other services. I used this as a guide to enable port forwarding with iptables: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/In...nectionSharing
