DHCP help

[McQuick]

Ok I got ip masquerade working everything works in the internal network. But is there away to make the internal ones optain ip addresses automatically instead of assigning one to them? So if i plug a pc into the hub it gets assign a 192.168.0.x addy automatically?





Thanks, McQuick

That can only be done with a DHCP server. Generally I would say to get a router to handle it but if you're interested then you can just install it and run it from your Linux box. Once you've set up the DHCP server and you've configured your other machines to use DHCP then you shouldn't have any problems.

And if you want to know how (or at least, how I did it), I've got the first beginnings of a Help File set up here:

Just read the DHCP part, that's all you'd need.

Good luck! ;)
