Problem Setting Up New Wifi ISP w/static IP, more.

[n9nu]

I just got a new wireless internet provider the other day and I am having problems getting a few things to setup correctly. I DO have access to the INET with the info below

 

Below are the given specs for my connection:

• IP: 208.x.x.x
  
• Delivery: STATIC
  
• Subnet Mask given: 255.255.255.192
  
• Gateway given: 208.71.145.193
  
• DNS 1: 216.133.162.10
  
• DNS 2: 216.132.145.30
  
• Speed: 10mbit down - 8mbit up
  
• NICS: I have 2. The on board I want as the INET interface (ETH 1). ETH 0 I want as the Gateway/ICS NIC.
  

The LAN cable comes directly from the dish on my tower right to my PC. I have no router, just a 16 port Gigabit hub to use for passing inet down the chain...so to speak.

 

I DID follow the directions for setting up ICS via the command line (the only way I will set anything up), but they reference only to examples having a router or cable/dsl modem and show using 192.168.x.x. for each NIC. Obviously I do not have that for my INET NIC (eth 1), but I do need to figure out what to put in for the ICS NIC (eth 0).

 

This is what I have in my /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1 (inet NIC)

 

EVICE=eth1

BOOTPROTO=static

IPADDR=208.x.x.x

NETMASK=255.255.255.192

NETWORK=208.71.145.192

BROADCAST=208.71.145.255

GATEWAY=208.71.145.193

ONBOOT=yes

METRIC=10

MII_NOT_SUPPORTED=no

USERCTL=no

DNS1=216.133.162.10

DNS2=216.132.145.30

RESOLV_MODS=yes

IPV6INIT=no

IPV6TO4INIT=no

 

For this file, the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 (ICS/LAN) side NIC, I need a bit of help with what to enter

 

DEVICE=eth0

BOOTPROTO=static

IPADDR=

NETMASK=255.255.255.0

NETWORK=

BROADCAST=

ONBOOT=yes

METRIC=10

MII_NOT_SUPPORTED=yes

PEERNTPD=no

 

I have the DNS servers setup right in the resolv.conf file. The following file, network, also needs to be adjusted I am sure:

NETWORKING=yes

GATEWAY=

HOSTNAME=localhost

FORWARD_IPV4=true

 

The other files in which you enter the forwarding scripts I have done.

NO. I don't like to use DHCP, I much prefer STATIC for everything

 

Thanks
