Shouldn't need to, you can of course, but just run the dhcp client that ships with redhat. Run NAT with iptables, and your all set. The lines of code I sent to basic NAT masqurading and forwarding. Oh and my cable modem connects to eth1, and my internal NIC is eth0. you may need to change the script a bit. I also run the dhcp server on the inside NIC, eth0. If your cable modem is on eth0, and your internal network is on eth1, remember to change /etc/sysconfig/dhcpd to read DHCPDARGS = eth1 so your internal dhcp server only hands out addresses on your network, not the cable modem network(Not a huge deal, but is likly to piss off your cable operator). -- Michael Gargiullo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Warp Drive Networks -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
