The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Cable modem ==> Redhat Linux box (and DHCP) ==> Windows Xp box

Asked by plytle in Linux Networking

Tags: eth1, subnet

I am on a cable connection (roadrunner) and I am trying to run a redhat linux box connected to the cable modem, and a winxp machine connected to the linux box via a second NIC.  I am able to get out on the linux system fine but I can't get dhcp to work properly so that the winxp machine can grab an IP.  Yes, I am using a crossover cable.  I _have_ tried to get things right in dhcpd.conf but am having trouble.  I suppose that my biggest problem is understanding which numbers assigned by roadrunner I should use in the .conf file and which numbers I can make up arbitrarily, like the ip to be assigned.  Obviously I want the XP system to be able to talk to the outside.  Also, I am using only one IP and I have only a single system connected to the linux box.  I have worked on this quite a bit and any ideas or insights would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you!!


ifconfig on the linux box says:
