Re: [uug] dhcp server on a debian dialup

[Chris Kosanovich]

First make sure that you have ip forwarding enabled in your kernel, then 
you will have to make sure that /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward  has a 1 
in it and not a 0 (this is to tell your computer to forward packets 
across interfaces)
 Then in your dhcp.conf (on my gentoo box it's in /etc/dhcp/ but i 
don't remember where it is on debian) you need to set up your subnet 
that you will want to give out addresses on, a very basic subnet 
declaration looks like

subnet 10.254.239.0 netmask 255.255.255.224 {
    range 10.254.239.10 10.254.239.20;
    option routers rtr-239-0-1.example.org, rtr-239-0-2.example.org;
    }
 If you need help figuring out what all that means let me know but it 
should be pretty self explanatory. From there just make sure that your 
nic that is listening for dhcp requests is on that subnet and then just 
plug in your other computer and get a dhcp address from it.
