This looks like a helpful place!
I have a Novell 3.12 server that has 2 NIC cards resulting in 2 separate
networks.
I am trying to set up a Linux (Slackware 2.0.30) DHCP server to assign
ip addresses
to the Novell Network, and function as a web server. I have 2 nic cards
in the linux box,
eth0 and eth1. I am using DHCP beta 0.65. I can get one of the linux
nics to assign ips
to half the novell net. If I switch sides with linux, it assigns ip to
the other half. I have
been unable to get novell to forward packets from the away side to the
DHCP server.
I thought using 2 nic cards in the linux box, one on each half of the
network would solve
my problem, but DHCP says I need BPF or NIT support compiled in to
broadcast on more
than one eth device.

Are BPF and NIT kernel compile options? (don't remember seeing them)
Do I have any other options?
Has anyone had luck assigning 2 ips to one card (in the linux box) and
have it talk to both networks?
Have I missed the obvious?
Am I an idiot?

Any help greatly appreciated!
Thank you
Joe Saling

You've probably already done this, but...

When you load TCPIP.NLM on the NW Server, you must specify
FORWARD=YES, like this:

load tcpip forward=yes

I have worked with the same basic setup (except three NICs in the
server) and it seemed to work fine. You might also want to get the
latest TCPIP files from Novell - http://support.novell.com - search
for TCPN04.EXE.

Load BOOTPFWD on the Netware server. You should be able to download it from
Novell's web site. Do a search for the file. If you can't find it, check in
the latest TCP/IP NLMs from novell.
