It should work for you, but I'll warn you in advance there are probably a couple other items you'll have to change. At the very least, the dhcp server only attaches itself to the internal network, which is hard-coded in the dhcp init script. Go to the package settings section of lrcfg, select dhcpd, and select the "system startup config" file. Change the ifs= line in this file to the interface you want the dhcp server running on, probably ifs="eth0". NOTE: Dhcp options for the clients can be changed by editing the "daemon config" file...see the man pages on-line at my site for details on the config file format: http://lrp.steinkuehler.net/Packages/dhcpd.htm#MANPAGE I think that's all you'll need to tweak (along with the eth0 <> eth1 swap you did in network.conf) for dhcp to service clients on an eth0 based internal network, but there may be something I'm forgetting... Good luck, and holler if you run into problems!
