I have an older pentium 166 that I've set up to be a masquerading
router for my office. It serve dhcp for all a bunch of win98 clients,
and maybe a few NT clients. It also works well for a couple Macs,
too. I've had no complaints--it has helped people think highly of
Linux around here.
My problem is that whenever I try to put a linux client behind the
masquerader, it doesn't work. Almost no data ever gets out. After
starting the network on the client, I can try to ping a machine off
the network and I get 1 (one) response, then silence. No subsequent
ping ever gets a response. No other protocol gets out, either.
What could my linux client be doing that is so different? The one
thing I've found is that in the dhcpd.leases file the windows clients
look like:
lease 192.168.2.12 {
starts 5 2000/01/21 23:04:34;
ends 5 2000/01/21 23:14:34;
hardware ethernet 00:40:05:24:57:91;
uid 01:00:40:05:24:57:91;
client-hostname "Burner";
}
Sometimes they also have the line:
dynamic-bootp;
whereas my linux client shows up as:
lease 192.168.2.56 {
starts 5 2000/01/21 23:01:22;
ends 6 2000/01/22 01:01:22;
hardware ethernet 00:a0:cc:59:18:88;
}
So the linux client does not have a uid of a client-hostname, nor is
it listed as "dynamic-bootp". But what, if anything, does that mena?
Thanks for any help.
