I think I need Break Windows for this one, Linux server for 2 WinME machines. Here's the story...

I've been trying to get this to work for the last 3 months with no luck. I need a good step-by-step guide on how to set this up using Webmin (easy use). I'm running Red Hat v7.1 and have all 4 disks, so if there are any components I need to install...I can.

Also I was having trouble locating the DHCP Server mod, Idealy that is how I want the network configuered so I can add new computers 'on the fly'. If you know the name of the RPM for DHCP Server, that will be great!

With the Webmin setup I'll need all the details (I'm stumped on the Zones for DNS...)
I've found some good sites for this but none of them seem to be complete (they're always missing something I need).

I'll be getting broadband at home soon and want to use this as a router/firewall (among other things) so any help getting this going will be wonderful! Thanks!

for DHCP I dont know if theres is or a good GUI configure tool for it. But here is a good HOWTO i found works good.

Also kcmdhcpd might be a good choice for a GUI config tool, this is in the howto.

The HOWTO's out there are very good, but doesn't help in tackling this...

Yah, been to both of those pages. Both are excellent and very informative...I'm just printing out the Swell pages and going to work off of those. Hope they help...

Do you know where the Red Hat 7.1 DHCP Server RPM is, or what it's called? I can't find it <IMG SRC="smilies/frown.gif" border="0">
