hello i was wondering if any one could help me, i have a single fedora box with two network cards eth0 - connected to my isp wich DHCP's all my IP information and DNS information this works fine...... and eth1 - Connected to my Hub and routes the isp to my other machines including virius other network services like nfs and samba...
I think I understand that you've got this all done OK... but I'm not sure. So just to be sure: does all of this actually work already?
If not, allow me to suggest that you spend a little time (maybe an hour or so) reading the documentation for Shorewall (www.shorewall.net) and then installing it. It is a great firewall software that will allow you to do all that very easily. Especially see the "two-interface" quick-start guides and examples.
first of all i have given my eth1 a fixed ip of 192.168.0.1 and im trying to run dhcp service it did nothing so i played with dhcpd.conf file and it dosent work at all now it has the error: Line 1 : semicolon expected.
Post your dhcpd.conf here. But first keep in mind:
1. All lines in dhcpd.conf end with a semi-colon. Only exception: lines that end in or only contain closing braces ("}").
2. Edit /etc/sysconfig/dhcp, which contains the line "DHCPARGS=". Change that to "DHCPARGS=eth1" so that it only serves your internal network and doesn't try to serve DHCP to your ISP.
and i just havent got a clue about routing im gussing i have to route my isp ip to 192.168.0.0 but the porblem is that its a dhcp ip and will change and i cant be botherd to change it every 5 seconds.
What you want is called masquerading. The best suggestion I can give you is to read the IP Masquerading HOWTO at www.tldp.org, then install Shorewall instead of doing everything by hand.
