Re: DHCP

[Philippe Moutarlier <philippe kscable com>]

I have the same kind of setting but I don't really understand what you mean by "needing dhcp server" .

Could you precise what you want to do ?

My example : my firewall is the router with the dhcp assigned ip. Behind it I have 4 machines running in a private network. All machines are masqueraded so they get access to internet as well.
