[ILUG] Network Problem [probably OT]

[Robert Sweetnam]

You must bridge the two nics on the Mandrake box. Download Webmin from 
webmin.com to make it easier. However you might have some problems. My setup 
is similar here but with my machine (smoothwall) I have my DSL router 
connected to eth0 and eth1 to my LAN. eth0 picks up an ipaddress via DHCP 
from the router (192.168.1.5) however eth1 needs a different ip range or 
subnet for the bridge to work. So in my case I have eth0 as 192.168.1.5 and 
eth1 as 172.20.1.2 with the rest of my LAN having IP addresses beginning 
with 172.20.1.x

For the LAN it self the gateway is set to the IP address assigned to eth1 
(172.20.1.2)

Hope this helps
Robert
