[SLUG] dhcpd not working

2004-12-23 Thread David 

I'm setting up dhcpd on Ubuntu 4.1
The client can get a lease, and ping the dhcp server, but can't get past
there. Any suggestions would be gratefully received.

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/dhcp3 # ip route ls
203.23.xxx.xxx/xx dev eth0  proto kernel  scope link  src 203.23.xxx.8
192.168.1.0/24 dev eth1  proto kernel  scope link  src 192.168.1.254
default via 203.23.xx.1 dev eth0

I assume you mean that the clients can't ping other machines than the
dhcp server, which is also acting as a gateway.

It's no sufficient to just enable ip_forwarding - have you also set up
some iptables rules for the forwarding? In this case, you'll need IP
masquerading, because the client machines have non-routeable 192.168.*
addresses.

Cheers,
Jan.
