RE: [newbie] DHCP Server
Getting Linux to "share" your single internet connection is very simple under 7.2. There is a GUI interface to set this all up for you. In 7.1 you need to do all the work yourself. 1) Edit your /etc/rc.local file Make sure it includes the following lines: # #CRITICAL: Enable IP forwarding since it is disabled by default since # #Redhat Users: you may try changing the options in /etc/sysconfig/network from: # # FORWARD_IPV4=false # to # FORWARD_IPV4=true # echo "1" /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward # # Load up MASQ support # /sbin/modprobe ip_masq_ftp /sbin/modprobe ip_masq_quake /sbin/modprobe ip_masq_raudio # The above three are more than enough. # Though you might want to enable other MASQ modules as well # /sbin/ipchains -P forward DENY /sbin/ipchains -A forward -s 10.0.0.0/8 -j MASQ -d 0.0.0.0/0 # This assumes that you have an existing working internet connection of some sort -AND- another ethernet interface connected to your internet "private" network. In the above case my private network is using the reserved IP address range of 10.0.0.1 thru 10.254.254.254, far more than most people need! My ethernet card on my internet connected linux box, that will be used to talk to the "other" machines is at 10.0.0.1 (though any address will work). Since I'm using a few Winblows machines: They all have their default gateway address pointing to 10.0.0.1 They all have reserved IP addresses for their Ethernet cards starting with Machine One: Eternet 10.0.0.10 Sub-Netmask 255.0.0.0 Machine Two: Eternet 10.0.0.11 Sub-Netmask 255.0.0.0 etc. They DNS entries all point to the DNS server at my ISP (though you could set up your own to get much faster responses!) And each machine has a unique name. Remember: (Normally, unless you REALLY know what you are doing) you should have two connections on your Linux box, one to the internet. The Internet Connection may be thru dialup (using PPP), a Cable Modem or DSL (normally using a seperate ethernet card, configured as eth0), etc. The "local" connection is seperate (in this case eth1), configured by me manually as the second connection. Normally the first connection gets automatically configured for you by your DSL or Cable provider using a DHCP -CLIENT- on your machine. If you can surf the internet you already have this set up! That's about it. The above configuration is considered a bit "open" since there are almost no restrictions on what services Linux "provides" to the internet. After you have things up and running, you can deal with cutting down the services Linux provides to the internet and thereby increase security. -JMS -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Dan Belkie Sent: Tuesday, January 16, 2001 6:17 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [newbie] DHCP Server Does anyone know of any good docs for a DHCP server setup?

Hey Dan! Ha ha ha you seem to be the answer to all my questions! Ok thanks by the way for the help on the corp. server issue last night.

RE: [newbie] dhcp server
Just to inform Tony and the other people that emailed me about the wrong person: I replied to the list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]), which in turn sent my reply to everyone. This way, if one person can't help, someone else might be able to.=) (If you check carefully, you'll see that you too replied to [EMAIL PROTECTED], sending your reply to everyone as well.) Have a great day! (it's snowing here in DC! WOOT!) -Dave -Original Message- From: Tony Watts [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, January 25, 2000 12:57 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] dhcp server you sent this to the wrong person
