Re: [Devil-Linux-discuss] PC connected to LAN port has no web connection.

  Joshua,

You don't have to specifically set a route entry if you only have one  
network segment behind the port. Linux will handle that. I assume eth0  
gets configured via DHCP? If yes, then the default route should  
automatically be set.

The computer connected to eth1 needs the DL IP address configured as  
the default router.

Obviously don't forget to enable the firewall rules. DL comes with a  
(basic) standard ruleset (which you should as a standard aproach not  
trust and review/modify) for a 2 NIC setup. You can easily enable it  
by running setup.

You will also need to configure DNS and DHCP (unless you go static IP)  
for your LAN. Take a look at dnsmasq, which provides a lot of features  
in a simple package.
