[SOLVED] need help setting up eth1 to lan

[oldefortran]

First I try do this:

/etc/init.d/net.eth1 start
* Please make sure that /etc/conf.d/net has $ifconfig_ set
* (or $iface_ for old-style configuration)

and no eth1. The first question is: where did this net.eth1 script come from? how do I know if I use the correct one? Can I reinstall it? I think I added it 100 years ago but I do not remember.
Second question is: what should it say in /etc/conf.d/net ?

The only non-comment lines I have in that file is these

config_eth0=( "dhcp" )
config_eth1=( "192.168.3.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.3.255" )

and eth0 line is perfect, but I want eth1 to be the interface to a local lan (and serve as dhcpserver) so the other computers can access the internet via eth1 and then on to the net by eth0.

There is also the masquerading part, how do I easiest set that up, in what script should I start the masquerade?

oldefortran,

net.eth1 is a symbolic link to net.lo
net.lo is the real networking script and runs as whatever its called as.

net.eth0 should also be a symlink to net.lo

Your net file looks ok

For masquerading, you need IPTables, this guide may help
