Network Setup - HOW TO

[Atit_Shah]

Hi all,

	I have a custom board designed to function as a router. It has 2
Ethernet ports. Eth1 is a WAN port and Eth0 is a LAN port. This is what
I wish to do:
1. connect the board/router to my company network 
2. connect a normal system running windows or linux to the router
3. I should be able to ping or browse the net using the normal system
via the router through the company network.

I have connect the normal network cable (not a cross wire cable) between
the router and the company network. The router does not seem to get a
dynamic IP. Why and What should I do for it to get one?

I assigned a static IP to eth1 and pinged another system on the company
network and I do get a reply back. So my eth1 is working fine, but I
would still prefer a dynamic IP.

I connect a system to eth0 again with a normal network cable (not a
cross wire cable) but the system does not seem to get an IP assigned
even when I run the dhcp server on my router....used udhcpd command. Why
and how can I get it up?

Appreciate a response on this....

Has any one come across a tutorial which could help me solve this

Regards
Atit
