Yes, in /etc/network/interfaces I have: allow-hotplug eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.2.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.2.1 # ip address of router And in /etc/dnsmasq.conf I tell DHCP clients the router address to use with: dhcp-option=option:router,192.168.2.1 I also added 'no-resolv' to dnsmasq.conf and set /etc/resolve.conf to domain home search home nameserver 127.0.0.1 this is because I manually set the upstream DNS servers' IP addresses in dnsmasq.conf. (I believe by default dnsmasq will use nameservers found in resolve.conf.) I also have my LANs domainname 'home' in dnsmasq.conf domain=home I believe that's my entire setup configuration explained :-) Oh, and resolve.conf can drop common unwanted domains into a black hole, e.g. address=/doubleclick.net/googlesyndication.com/127.0.0.1 -- Tixy () The ASCII Ribbon Campaign (www.asciiribbon.org) /\ Against HTML e-mail and proprietary attachments -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
