i don't see where you're handing out the default gateway or nameserver info to hosts on that subnet. your clients ain't gonna get far on the net without that.From what I understand, I thought that you didn't need a gateway if you are planning to let your ISP handle it. And since eth0 is gets its dhcp info from RoadRunner, I wouldn't be able to grab that info. And creating a DNS would just be overkill for a network of two (maybe three in the future when I add a windows box) machines, correct?
So I'm trying to do the following:
---------------- ----------------------- ---------------------------------
| Laptop | ---------------------> |Nat server | ----------> | ISP w/ gw + dns|
----------------- ---------------------- -------------------------------
To the let the isp do the rest....
I think I understand. eth1 is listening on 192.168.0.1 and hands out leases on the 8 possible ip's that grabs hold?# The first network card - this entry was created during the Debian installation auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp
#Second network card - 3Com vortex
auto eth1
iface eth1 inet static
address 192.168.0.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.0.0
broadcast 192.168.0.255
i see that eth1 is 192.168.0.1, yet your dhcp range above starts at .1. that also ain;t gonna fly, it needs to start at .2 or higher.
