MEPIS as a gateway?
 

hy

I've got a Box with two NIC's.
LAN: 192.168.0.2 eth1
WAN: 192.168.1.2 eth0

I've got a modem 192.168.1.1 which is as the same time router.

My LAN as you can imagine is on the 192.168.0.0 subnet.

Well, my problem is that i have internet connection (outside)in my WAN and not in the LAN area.

this is what i did:
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -O eth0 -j MASQUERADE
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
modprobe iptable_nat

I setted up a DHCP for my LAN, but how to start it in MEPIS?

In fedora "service dhcpd start"
and " chkconfig --level 345 dhcpd on" if we want to boot the box and have the DHCPD running automatically.

Did i miss something?

Thanks

You can configure in mutilities or in console as root type

dhclient


to get to mutilities type

mutilities

in console as root.

Use the wiki http://www.mepis.org/docs

Post to http://www.mepislovers.com great forum

OK thanks mdmarker.

Your commands work very well.

Now i would like to start the DHCPD (server) not the client, which means that my box will deliver IP's to other boxes.

Well i've already done the DHCPD script, now i would like to start it?

In fedora this is the command: (service dhcpd start)

Thanks again

The other think is that when i follow graphically this link below:
Kmenu - Network folders - Network services it says:

" The zeroconf daemon (mdnsd) is not running "

What does it mean mdnsd and how to open the network services, in GUI or in Console mode doesn't matter?

thanks guys
