Okay, this is a long post so prepare:
My main computer is a Mandriva 10.1 box. On a secondary computer I use DSL and I want to eventually transform this box into a webserver. Here's a diagram of my network:
(CABLE MODEM)

eth0
(MDK BOX)
eth1
|
eth0
(DSL BOX)
I have the cable modem in eth0 of mdk box, and have a cable from eth1 of mdk box to eth0 of DSL box.
I have set up connection sharing in Mandrake. So DHCP should work correctly, however it doesn't at all. When I enter static information in netcardconfig it doesn't work either.
Mdk Box is set up as:
eth1 is set up as 192.168.0.1 (it is gateway) and eth1 is set up as 192.168.0.2.
DSL box is set up to:
192.168.0.2 - gateway 192.168.0.1 - netmask 255.255.255.0 - broadcast 192.168.0.255 - nameserver 192.168.0.1
That's my dilemma, but also, one last question.
Would it be better if I just bought a hub or even a splitter instead of using eth0 as a gateway and just FTP'd the files that I wanted to transfer? the DSL box is mainly supposed to be webserver, so would that be more beneficial?
Thanks and sorry for the long post.
BTW, I love DSL. It has transformed a AMD k6 w/ 233mhz and 24MB of ram into a nice workstation.
