How-To: Set up a LAN gateway with DHCP, Dynamic DNS and iptables on Debian Etch
Published in www.debuntu.org - 29-06-2008
Linux is a perfect platform to act as a router/gateway.
In this tutorial, I will explain how to set up a Linux box to operate as a network router. The box will provide the following services:
- DHCP server to provide the ip addresses to the machines in the LAN
- DNS server to resolve domain names
- Gateway with IP tables to give access to the Internet.
- Firewall with IP tables.
The resulting machine will have quite a small footprint: about 600M, and except if your network is intensively used, a low spec computer can be recycled to do the job.
As the machine is going to operate as a router/firewall
