I am having difficulties with the following:
- Using the same format that you did in Part 4 of the Guided Exercise, configure Linux-2 as follows:
eth0: 172.16.17.100/24 (use the Router as the gateway);
when I configure Linux-2 and use 192.168.1.100 (Router) as the gateway, the gateway does not appear on my Kernel IP routing table for Linux-2.
- Configure Linux-1 to use DHCP.
I can’t seem to configure Linux-1 to use DHCP even though I followed the DHCP steps from the Guided Exercise.
Please can anyone help?
Remember that the Router has 2 IP addresses: 192.168.1.100 AND 172.16.17.1.
Before Linux-2 can reach any other network it has to reach its local router on the local router interface (172.16.17.1).
As to DHCP, can you show a screen shot of the Linux-1 network configuration? A common mistake is to forget to remove a comment (#).
I tried it but it is still not working. Attached are some screenshots.
Sorted the DHCP configuration.

As you can see the Gateway issue persists.
The gateway should be 172.16.17.1.
My Linux-2 pings 172.16.17.1 successfully
Linux-2 does not ping 192.168.1.100 (failed ping)
Linux-2 does not ping the WEB host (failed ping)
I got it sorted now, thanks a lot.

Capitalization matters in Linux
