Dual Network Card Setup

Post by reservoir »

Hi,

I'm not that great with networking, so I have not been able to get my dual NIC setup working. Here's some background information.

Host
- Dell Precision T7400
- Ubuntu 8.04 (64-bit)
- Dell onboard gigabit ethernet (eth0)
- Intel PCIe gigabit ethernet (eth1)

Guest: Fedora 7 (32-bit)

I have a DNS, DHCP server running and I'd like to use it to assign both NICs IP addresses. I want the Ubuntu Host to take eth0 (10.1.1.149) and the Fedora Guest to take eth1 (10.1.1.150). Putting two NICs on the same subnet using DNS and DHCP does not work.

Can I do some sort of bridging or firewalling on the Ubuntu Host so that it only uses one NIC, and passes the other NIC to the guest? Has anyone setup something like this where a host uses one NIC, and a guest uses a different physical NIC?

Thanks.
