theres my dhcpd.conf file....

I do not really understand it too well.

Heres the deal. I got eth0 wich gets IP via dhcp from my ISP. I got eth1 wich is assigned the usual 192.168.1.1/255.255.255.0 subnet mask. Mt hostname is "gtwy2k1" and the domain name I gave it was "tampabay.rr.com".

As I said before, the firewall/routing works great if I configure the clients manually, so I do not belive there is anytihng wrong with the normal net settings (do let me know if I am wrong here)

Also....
option routers $YOUR_IP;
do I enter my external ethernet IP? Or do I use the internal (LAN) IP here?

and..
option broadcast-address $SUBNET_BCAST;
I got that part right didn't I ?

next...
option domain-name $YOUR_DOMAIN;
Now for this, I assume I need to enter "tampabay.rr.com"? Is this actually needed? And am I even using the right domain name? are there rules for picking a domain name?

and finally..
option domain-name-servers $DNS_SERVER_IP;
this is pretty self-explainatory - right? Just plug in my DNS server list?

thx again...

oh.. yeah...

You said the stuff mentioned goes into the "subnet" section? Ort do I just modify the file as mentioned earlier?
