It was asked:
How to configure the linux box to do DHCP (which is all that
it needs to be an internet citizen in this case)?
The easiest way is to use the gui ("idiot-unix") linuxconf:
Config ==> Networking ==> Client tasks ==>Basic host information
"This host basic configuration" displays in right side of window.
==> Adapter 1
==> Config mode ==> DHCP (choice of "Manual", "DHCP", "Bootp")
==> Accept
==> Act/Changes
==> Activate the changes
==> Quit
(Note: if you have trouble getting DHCP client to work with that
DHCP server, then you can always set the IP number manually to
something on the same subnet as the other machines
(e.g. 192.168.1.31, set the default route manually
(route add default gw 192.168.1.1 (the address of the NAT's
LAN interface card), and manually set the DNS info (in /etc/resolv.conf)
