Beitrag von falconxxx »

hi guys greetings from scotland...first post great forum :)

I read the tutorial here http://www.dietmar-h.net/linux_en.html ,but dont kwow where to get a DHCPD file , or if i need to write on myself ?

falconxxx,

the dhcpd is the DHCP daemon, a server process that runs on your server and offers ip addresses to dhcp-clients in your local network. but as far as you don't want to bring a new image on the box you don't need that dhcpd.

set up the network in neutrino like this to goin full internet access:

network address: 192.168.0.4
subnetmask: ??? look at your router (i suppose it is 255.255.255.0)
gateway 192.168.0.1
nameserver: 192.168.0.1

and remember to exclude your dbox' ip address from the pool of valid dhcp addresses on your router.

now test your dbox' internet connection under network settings. should work now.

You're welcome!

Guess that... :-) But the nameserver should be added to /etc/resolv.conf. Just hop on the box with telnet and - if you are used to it - use vi to edit some files.

Already switched Neutrino to english language? Things might become clearer then.

hello again,
i tried the settings above ,but still cannot acces the box if the PC is set at automatically obtain IP address. The only way i can acces the box is of I assign a static IP address of 192.168.0.** on the PC. Where can I change the IP address of the Actual BOx from the files ?

yep nuetrino in english
