by Hi.
My masquerading machine needs a dhcp client running to receive it's external
IP address. But I also would like to have a dhcp server running on the same
machine to supply IP addresses for the internal network.
I start the two programs like
dhcpcd -i eth0
dhcpd eth1
Everything boots fine and all the internal clients are able to receive an IP
address.
However, after about 30 minutes, about the time after which the external
card has to renew it's license, the external card crashes (ifconfig does not
show the card). dhcpcd exits.
Any help?
a few details:
- external card is a 3com 3c509
- internal card is ne2000 compatible
- Redhat 4.2 (with lots of fixes installed)
- Kernel 2.0.32
all internal machines are Win boxes.
the external Ethernet card is connected to a Toshiba cable modem
(RoadRunner).
Thanks...
