FC4 - Setting up Gateway.

[Shogust]

Hey all,

I'm trying to setup my server as the gateway of our network.
But there's one problem.

I've got a ETH0 and ETH1.
ETH0 - Directly connected to the internet.
ETH1 - Connected to a router or switch.

I've got 2 ethernetcards in my server but if I do the command:

service network restart

Then it will stand on this for a little while.
Determining IP information for ETH0...
After about 2/3 minutes I'm getting this:
Determining IP information for ETH0... [FAILED]

Then if I'm gonna check the error by typing this command:
dmesg
Then it shows this:

eth0: link up, 100Mbps, full-duplex, lpa 0x45E1
eth0: no IPv6 routers present
eth0: link up, 100Mbps, full-duplex, lpa 0x45E1
eth0: link down
eth0: no IPv6 routers present
eth0: link up, 100Mbps, full-duplex, lpa 0x45E1
eth0: link down
eth0: link up, 100Mbps, full-duplex, lpa 0x45E1
eth0: link up, 100Mbps, full-duplex, lpa 0x45E1
eth0: no IPv6 routers present
eth0: link up, 100Mbps, full-duplex, lpa 0x45E1
eth0: no IPv6 routers present
eth0: link down
eth0: link down

If I put ETH1 on direct internet and ETH0 on the router/switch it will do the same.

These are my ifcfg-eth0/eth1 config files:

ETH0

DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
HWADDR=00:15:F2:51:1A:91
ONBOOT=yes
DHCP_HOSTNAME=**myhostnameishere**
TYPE=Ethernet

ETH1

DEVICE=eth1
BOOTPROTO=none
HWADDR=00:08:A1:77:9F:72
ONBOOT=yes
DHCP_HOSTNAME=**myhostnameishere**
IPADDR=192.168.1.210
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
TYPE=Ethernet
USERCTL=yes
IPV6INIT=no
PEERDNS=yes

Does anyone know's how to fix this?
Because my ETH0 don't wanna see my external IP from my internet provider.
I donno how and thats why I'm asking you guys.

Thanks allot!
(Sorry for my bad english)

It's probably not a good idea to use a DirectAdmin webhosting server as a local gateway.

And the topic is certainly offtopic; most of us are hosting guys, not network gurus.

You might try a networking forum.
