Need Help With IP Addressing

jmj99385 · 04-27-2006, 12:55 PM

Okay, I'm getting confused at the moment.

I've got a new Slack box that I want to be a domain controller. DNS, DHCP, the works. From my local provider I got a block of IP addresses (half of one Class C).

Currently the box is set to 192.168.0.105. How and where do I change the address so that it controls XX.XX.XX.130 - .254?

Added difficulty is that I ahve two NICs in this box, one that will be connected to the T1 through a Cisco 1710, and the other to the rest of the internal network (all using local IPs).

Does anyone have any advice for me?

Thank you very much in advance for any help!

Are you using dnsmasq for your DNS/DHCPD? This is works great for these functions. To use it in Slackware, you just have to make /etc/rc.d/rc.dnsmasq executable, and then modify the /etc/dnsmasq.conf file to set up your rules. This file is commented pretty well with lots of examples, just uncomment the stuff you want to use.

Thank you! That's a good start for me then. I'll check it out.

Now will this work for the external IP block as well?
