eth0
« on: May 06, 2008, 12:51:00 pm »
Hi!

I had everything working fine except the DHCP server (the default gateway is the ebox machine ip and like this the clients can't get to the Internet)
So I explored a little: in the eth0 setup I marked the chekbox external.
It made me loose connection through web browser to ebox. I'm not able to login in the domain either!

Please help!!!! ??? :o

Now I can i roll-back? How can I unchange this?

Here is my network diagram:

Hi Patcunha,

To make DHCP server to work, you must change the default gateway to a custom IP address (your case 192.168.16.1) to point the DHCP clients to the correct path since eBox is not working as gateway.

To recover from that mistake, do the following to flush the iptables rules:
Code: [Select]
$ iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT
$ iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT
$ iptables -F

Then, access to the eBox Web UI and unset the external checkbox and save changes.

Hope this helps.
My secret is my silence...
