If you use internet connection sharing, and the two ethernet cards suggest you are thinking of it, the DHCP server will be activated, the eth0 to local will be 192.168.0.1 (that is what to tell the other machines for gateway address) and you can use the dhcp wizard to specify the address range. That setup will also plug 192.168.0.1 as the nameserver for each of your locals and activate a forwarding DNS on the gateway box. If you are doing this with 8.1, then make sure you go to http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/81errata.php3 and read it. Tiny Firewall is _not_ recommended; use the other solution, lest you cut your gateway out of NFS/NIS and any possibility of functioning as a fileserver and mailserver without hand modification of the firewall rules.
