DHCP questions for dispose5@hotmail.com
I'm not subscribed to the list, so please cc me on any replies.
I'm a current dialup user, changing to DSL imminently. I also have a
LAN Masqueraded behing that connection and plan to continue that.
My (new) DSL provider tells me I need to use DHCP to obtain my IP address,
etc. No problem there, I remember that Debian has DHCP-related packages
listed in dselect.
Now comes the problem.
There are too many packages to know where to start.
Could you provide a brief explanation (beyond that in dselect) of which
packages are intended for what purposes? There seem to be a number of
pacakges which apparently do the same thing, and there's no way for me
to know which to use and why.
BTW, if it matters, I run BIND on a machine *behind* the gateway, for
192.168.* addresses. I have on intention of moving this to the gateway,
or anything else of course, for security reasons. But if there is any
information I'll need as a result of this, please advise me.
