Linux - Setting up a DHCP Server (Video 1 of 4 for setting up Linux Router/Gateway)

[atif7865]

Hey,

Just on a side note, when configuring the eth0 or eth1, you mentioned that the network id needs to be zero. that is true on some networks depending on the netmask. so your netmask dictates what is your network id.

i am sure you didnt include that in order not to confuse anyone.

cheers.

can i use a built in ethernet and a usb wireless adapter for this?

[StarCraftSportsNet]

@Salamander014 It is not a good idea to use wireless in this concept. And using wireless for this concept in general would be near impossible unless you're doing pure ad-hoc. Wired networks are more secure.

how do we setup VPN after doing all the firewall?

[StarCraftSportsNet]

@thebigbigdaddy Look up OpenVPN

[lgreengo525]

with a DHCP server running in my home, will I be able to configure it so that windows, linux and mac OS machines can all store and access files on it?

[StarCraftSportsNet]

@lgreengo525 Of course, you'd be setting up a Samba server.

hi there fantastic video , i'm pritty new to this linux stuff and its quite fun to learn i was wondering when you type VI for the editing of the config files is it possible to tab the roots ? i.e vi /etc/ "tab" and then it gives the user whats within ? does that make sense? ahh like on a cisco switch ?

[TheGoodChap]

@brother776 The shell lets you use tab for auto completion, but you have to type the first letter or so and then it will try to guess what your typing based on what is in that folder. You'll probably have to do ls /etc/ and then if there is a foo.bar file you can type vi /etc/f "tab" and it will put in /etc/foo.bar for you. Hope this answers the question! Actually I believe that Bash may let you do what your wanting but you will have to edit the config file. You may want to look into that.

[pyblanding]

Could we have openvpn on this same box? Maybe a noob question.

[jatsidan]

you're the man!!!!

[thecontrarian42]

in the video info you have the dir to dhcpd.conf as /etc/dhcpd.conf, not /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf, which threw me off

[StarCraftSportsNet]

@thecontrarian42 The default location in CentOS 5 is /etc/dhcpd.conf. There is also a dhcpd6.conf there assuming you're setting up a IPv6 LAN.

Technologically; I'm a Richard Stallman fan, but I can't let go of vi! He hates it and calls it: "... the editor of the beast"!! Meaning UNIX!!! LOL

Thank you

just troed this when i tried the setup up etc/sysconfig/network-scri[ts/­ifconfig-eth1 i tried that and got lunix saying new file what do i do (im on centos 55 ike u)

[StarCraftSportsNet]

@walkdru if you Don't have another network card it won't be there. Also if you do have a second card, make sure your path is typed correctly. /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts­/ifcfg-eth1
