I would like to know the best tutorial for setting up a decent DHCP server for some kind of maybe hardware firewall? I have setup the DHCP server though to get it on my Linux box using Centos v4 but thats all I have done. Cant believe how simple it really was, here's my config anyways: Code: # # DHCP Server Configuration file. # see /usr/share/doc/dhcp*/dhcpd.conf.sample # ddns-update-style interim; ignore client-updates; subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 { # --- default gateway option routers 192.168.0.1; option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0; option nis-domain "hsmedia.co.uk"; option domain-name "hsmedia.co.uk"; option domain-name-servers 192.168.0.2; option time-offset -18000; # Eastern Standard Time # option ntp-servers 192.168.1.1; # option netbios-name-servers 192.168.1.1; # --- Selects point-to-point node (default is hybrid). Don't change this unless # -- you understand Netbios very well # option netbios-node-type 2; range dynamic-bootp 192.168.0.128 192.168.0.254; default-lease-time 21600; max-lease-time 43200; # we want the nameserver to appear at a fixed address host ns { next-server hsmedia.co.uk; hardware ethernet 00:06:4F:65:D7:AF; fixed-address 192.168.0.2; } } Is this the best way to do the DHCP server part, how would I secure websites being received by the server, ie to help prevent malicious attacks on my work computers so they dont get hacked, ie using some kind of hardware firewall? I would really appreciate how to firm this system up so I can not have to bother with firewalls on my computer preferably. I look forward to your replies, Jeremy.
I have sorted it. Just used an example off the web for the proper dhcp configurations. This one wasnt behaving (the example above), the way I wanted it to, but it is now. Thanks for everyone whos had a look and tried something out though, but just wanted to close this post. Kind regards, Jeremy.
