Hi All,
I just upgraded my system to RH8.0 and did a full install. In may ways
I like the new setup, but I have a few initial questions I would liked
answered.
First, I use my redhat box as our home networks gateway to the
internet. I was using RH 7.2 and as you know it used ipchains for
firewall. To get masquerade working I just added the appropriate
commands to the end of the ipchains file found in /etc/sysconfig and
when the firewall was brought up at initialization the forwarding was
also started. My problem is how to do this with iptables. I frankly
find iptables a rather difficult protocol to figure out, probably says
something about how my brain works. So I would appreciate it if someone
could give some advise to me on this before my wife kills me because the
computer can no longer connect to the internet.
Second, I have been using dhcpd to assign ip addresses to the various
machines on my home network. However, with the upgrade it will not
initialize. It keeps telling me I need to add a line "ddns-update-style
ad-hoc;" to my dhcpd.conf. I tried doing this without success and was
hoping I could get some help. BTW I took my dhcpd.conf file from the
Home Network howto. It is as follows:
subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 192.168.1.2 192.168.1.60;
default-lease-time 86400;
max-lease-time 86400;
ddns-update-style ad-hoc;
option routers 192.168.1.1;
option ip-forwarding off;
option broadcast-address 192.168.1.255;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
option domain-name-servers 66.203.168.2, 66.203.168.3,
66.203.168.4;
option netbios-name-servers 192.168.1.1;
option netbios-dd-server 192.168.1.1;
option netbios-node-type 8;
option netbios-scope "";
}
I appreciate your help. Then I will ask some questions on the Samba
server with win2000.
Jim
