You are better off setting up ipmasq and DHCP via Linuxconf which TRIES
to keep you from doing things wrong...

Subject: [newbie] DHCP...please help


Hello.  I am trying to stup/enable a DHCP client on my linux machine.  I
am running LM8.0 right now. I have a book about setting up an internet
server for linux, but all the examples are based off of RH6.2  I could
install that, but I would prefer to stay w/ LM8.0.  (I have read the
debate on ipchains/tables and deffinatly like the way iptables sound.)

Now, the book shows the following examples of ipmasq, and DHCP, which is
all well and good...if I were using the CDrom from the book.  Can anyone
tell me where the DCHP and ipmasq files are located (by default) on LM8,
and the commands to initialize them?  If they're the same as RH, then I
should be able to get it w/out an example.  I could play around w/ them
to figure it out, but cannot find the DCHP files or ipmasq ones.

The book's example of installing the DCHP rpm file is this:

# rpm -i /mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS/dhcp-2.ob1pl6-6.i386.rpm [enter]

When I installed Linux-mandrake, I selected the option that was for
firewall/router, so I'm pretty sure the DHCP client is already install.
If it is not, where should I start looking?

-Thanks for all your help, folx.  It has been a great asset.
