linux router-> hardware router setting
i using a linux router which has 2 NIC...first NIC is connected to internet and the second is i want to connected it to the router which has wan port and 4 lan port.
my eth0 = is connected to the modem
my eth1 = ip : 192.168.1.1
netmask : 255.255.255.0
gateway : blank
( i didn't setup a dhcp )
so i succesfully connect this eth1 to a single pc by using cross cable. the pc is xp where i set the ip as 192.168.1.2, netmask 255.255.255.0 and gateway 192.168.1.1
but how do i connect the eth1 to the router? thru WAN port or to the LAN port?...if thru WAN port..which setting do i need to choose?...static ip, dynamic ip? or else?...what are the configuration do i need to set in the router such as ip netmask and gateway?
the router ip is 192.168.0.1 where i configure thru web configuration...
thanks

It all depends on what sort of router you have and what it's capabilites are. It sounds like you've got a simple router intended for use as a home Internet gateway. In that case you could connect it's WAN ethernet port to eth1, configure the router for a static WAN IP of 192.168.1.2, a default gateway of 192.168.1.1, and the name server of your ISP. Most of those routers will hand out DHCP addresses to their inside clients.

previously i connect to the old router which has uplink, it works. but now, the give me a basic router with 1 wan port and 4 lan port...i can connect the eth1 using cross cable to a xp pc but in the network configuration of the pc i have to do the manual and not the dhcp. but i want the cross cable connected to router and the router it self using dhcp to spread the internet connection or lan to client...
i want to know...if the cross cable i connect it to WAN port...what are the configuration will be?

On most the simple routers a connections directly to the LAN ports are equivalent to using a switch/hub. The router may or may not do dhcp for the internal net in that configuration. If you connect the router's WAN port to eth1 and configure the router for a static outside IP of say 192.168.1.2, using 192.168.1.1 as the default gateway and your ISP's nameservers it should work just as it would if the router was going straight to your ISP.
Whether you need a cross over or straight connection from the WAN port to eth1 depends the router. Some have a built in crossover and others don't. Check your router's docs.

i connect the eth1 to the router
my eth1
ip: 192.168.1.1
netmask: 255.255.255.0
gateway: 192.168.1.1
router static ip setting
ip: 192.168.1.2
netmask: 255.255.255.0
gateway: 192.168.1.1
still cannot spread the internet from the router...but from eth1 to a single pc using cross cable, the pc can recieve the internet...but using the router static ip setting at the network configuration
my eth1
ip: 192.168.1.1
netmask: 255.255.255.0
