Don't have any hands on with that one, I use a hardware router to the ISP. > Also, I have dhcpd installed, and am trying to get the computer to be a dhcp server > on eth1 (internal).

In fact just moved the whole setup to the powerbook running 9.1 and shut down my old server. I do use static IP's per machine: ddns-update-style none; subnet 192.168.192.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 { # default gateway - hardware router option routers 192.168.192.11; option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0; option domain-name "linuxcontrol.org"; option domain-name-servers 192.168.192.45, 66.73.20.40, 206.141.193.55; # 192.168.192.45 is the dhcpd/nameserver/samba server/netatalk etc. default-lease-time 21600; max-lease-time 43200; #this is another laptop, x86 running either WindowsXP or Linux, wired or #wireless. I used to use the same hostname for both, but current dhcpd #doesn't care for that. host presario { hardware ethernet 00:90:96:19:60:20; fixed-address 192.168.192.33; } host presariow { # wireless setup hardware ethernet 00:06:25:0b:97:97; fixed-address 192.168.192.33; } That's it - more of the above for different machines.
