Farooq m asked: Hi, i will appreciate any guidance for the problem whose setup is as follows. 1) I have a linux calrconnect 5.0 box with 2 network interfaces which acts as my gateway, firewall, content filter and web proxy. I have assigned a public ip to one NIC and have assigned a static private ip to the other NIC. 2.) I have a Windows server 2003 E.E with 2 NIC. i connected a UTP from the Linux box with private ip assigned to one NIC of the WIndows Server and from the second NIC of the Windwos server connected a UTP to the ethernet switch. I wanted the Windows server to act as the DHCP server due to management and let all internet bound traffic out through the linux box-clarkconnect for bandwidth allocation and security. Please advise how should i assign the ip addresses. On the linux box, i did not do a NAT and it automatically allowed controlled browsing. I tried to make the Windows Server 2003 the DHCP server but failed as none of the clients picked up the ip addresses. The ip addresses are as follows;
ip assigned to the 1st NIC of the Linux box connected to the internet
————————————————————————————————–
ip: 41.210.xxx.xxx
subnet: 255.255.255.xxx
gateway: 41.212.xxx.xxx
DNS1: 41..211.xxx.xxx
DNS2: 41.211.xxx.xxx
ip assigned to the 2nd NIC of the LINUX box
—————————————————————
ip address: 192.168.1.1
subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
gateway: 41.210.xxx.xxx
DNS 1 & 2: as assigned to NIC 1 above
ip assigned to NIC 1 of Windows Server
———————————————————
ip address: 192.168.1.2
subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
gateway: 192.168.1.1
DNS 1 & 2 : Same as assigned to NIC 1 for Linux box
ip address to NIC 2 of Windows Server
——————————————————–
This is a problem because i tried to assign an ip address (192.168.1.3) and did a NAT with the gateway being (192.168.1.2) and it did not DHCP or seem to work.
I will really appreciate if anyone could solve this problem beacuse i tried all possible until i had to make the linux box the DHCP server and connect the Windows server directly to the switch with a static private ip address. Thank you all.
