Hi,

First of all, thanks to the authors of the IPM Howto for their work - it was 
very helpful.

Anyway here's my question:

Does anyone know how to set up IP Masquerading to work correctly with 
DHCP-assigned IPs for the internal network?  Everything works fine with 
static internal IPs, but as soon as I try to get dynamic IPs working, the 
clients can no longer see the outside world.

more info:

Server:
Pentium 200
Redhat 6.0
DSL with static IP address to outside world (ISP assigned)

Clients:
Win9x laptops
static IP addresses for internal network (192.168.x.x)
(want to move to DHCP-assigned IPs)

Here's the dhcpd.conf file I'm using:

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
default-lease-time 600;
max-lease-time 7200;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
option domain-name-servers x.x.x.x, x.x.x.x;
option domain-name "domain.net";

subnet 192.168.x.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
   range 192.168.x.10 192.168.x.100;
}

subnet <ISP assigned network address> netmask 255.255.255.0 {
}
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

win9x clients are set to:
-obtain IP addresses automatically
-gateway 192.168.x.1 (server)
-dns addresses same as server's dns settings

win9x clients successfullly obtain IP addresses.  These addresses can also 
be released/renewed. Client machines can successfully ping themselves, the 
server and vice versa.  Server can ping outside world, but client machines 
cannot.

Any help would be much appreciated.

regards,

Pete
