Hi, maybe this can help you to setup your network...
I'll try to describe the files
/etc/sysconfic/network - at this file you setup your gateway
NETWORKING=yes
FORWARD_IPV4=false #if you have more interfaces this should be
true
HOSTNAME=host.yourdomain.com
DOMAINNAME=yourdomain.com
GATEWAY=ip.of.the.gateway
GATEWAYDEV=eth0 #this could be one ppp connection
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ #in this directory you have the config.
of your interfaces
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 #it can be configured
statically or via dhcp
if you have more than one interface there will be one ifcfg-ethX for
each interface
DEVICE=eth0
IPADDR=ip.of.the.host
NETMASK=netmask.of.the.net
NETWORK=first-address.of.the.net
BROADCAST=last-address.of.the.net
ONBOOT=yes
this one is for dhcp
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
ONBOOT=yes
/etc/resolv.conf #here you point your provider dns server
search your.provider.domain.com
nameserver ip.of.dns.server
/etc/named.conf #you set up this in order to resolve dns queries for
the machines behind yours
// generated by named-bootconf.pl
options {
directory "/var/named";
/*
* If there is a firewall between you and nameservers you want
* to talk to, you might need to uncomment the query-source
* directive below. Previous versions of BIND always asked
* questions using port 53, but BIND 8.1 uses an unprivileged
* port by default.
*/
// query-source address * port 53;
forward only;
forwarders{
ip.of.dns.server;
};
};
//
// a caching only nameserver config
//
zone "." {
type hint;
file "named.ca";
};
zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" {
type master;
file "named.local";
};
if you intend to share your connection with machines behind yours you
must use ipchains. if you need i can send you one script that allows
this.
