Looking or direction or information on setting up DHCP on a firewall. I have one NIC as a DHCP client from my IP provider. I would like to setup the 2nd NIC to bridge between my computer and the 1st NIC and to auto assign IP numbers to computers that use it as a gateway to the internet.

Thanks

try this


$ cd /etc/
$ vi dhcpd.conf

# ENTER THE FOLLOWING (changing to suit your network)

ddns-update-style interim;

default-lease-time 600;
max-lease-time 7200;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
option broadcast-address 192.168.0.255;
option routers 192.168.0.1;
option domain-name-servers primaryDNSip, secondardDNSip;
# option domain-name "example.com";

subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 192.168.0.11 192.168.0.100;
}



# THEN!

$ cd /etc/sysconfig/
$ vi dhcpd

# Command line options here
# Where eth# is eth card connected to the local network
# you want to use DHCP for

DHCPDARGS=eth1


hope this helps
