Topic: Multiple Network Cards for Internal Net

[Paul Buytels]

I've got a little problem:

I've got E-smith setup perfectly (at least almost): the external (internet) interface eth0 works fine, also my first internal network interface eth1 works perfectly.
Everthing seems to be in orders so far.
Since e-smith doesn't seems to recognize my third network interface eth2 i set it up manually. So far so good.

The problem:
Eth2 seems to work:
   -network is fine (link led on hub)
   -ip address is fine (192.168.2.1)
   -set up dhcp for eth2
   -set up 192.168.2.0 as an internal network in e-smith-manager

The workstations on eth2 don't seem to get an ip adress from the dhcp server and the following is recorden in /var/log/messages

Mar 30 01:13:06 linux kernel: Packet log: denylog DENY eth2 PROTO=17 169.254.71.129:137 169.254.255.255:137 L=78 S=0x00 I=73 F=0x000 T=32 (#1)

i figure the problem is that the ipchains config isn't updated.

Can anyone help me out ?

Thanks,

You will need to set up a custom template to configure dhcpd to server the second network.
