Hi,

I have a couple of questions for you mandrake experts.  I have a home
network setup with a Linux box (using Mandrake 8.0) as the
server/gateway.  Due to the change with AT&T I had to install dhcp
(client) on the server to get things working.  This broke a couple of
things I had setup -- specifically, Iptable/firewall settings.  So I
would now like to fix server.  The things I need to correct are:

1) I would like to move the all the computers from static ip address to
dhcp.  This would mean that the server would need to be both a client
(on the internet side) and a server (for the home network).  I want to
do this so when the dns servers should change all the systems will
update automatically.  Is this possible?  And if so where do I find info
on how to do it?

2) Redo the iptable rules so that it does ipforwarding, allow access
into/out off the gnutella network (I use gnut) and closes all unnessary
ports (I am not running a webserver or anything like that)

The network has 2 computers on it.  One is a win98/linux box and the
other is a Win98 box.

Thanks in advance.
