I had issues with DHCP working too w/Firestater and sharing. What I did was just static allocate an address.

On the client:
sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0
sudo route add default gw 192.168.0.1

Bet it works then.

For unrelated reasons I just did a clean Gutsy install on this laptop.
I did your instructions with no dice, then remembered I had not yet install dhcp. I did that,but on start I get
syslog tells me
said by syslog :

No subnet declaration for eth1 (192.168.1.2).
Please write a subnet declaration in your dhcpd.conf file for the
network segment to which interface eth1 is attached.
This is what dhcpd.conf look like.

I don't use DHCP on any of my systems here. But I do have the DHCP server running on the router so if someone comes in with a box and they do use DHCP, they can get an IP that will work.

So, I can't help you with that part.

Your existing wireless setup works, right? So leave all of that the way it is. Then try getting this second set of NICs working with hard coded IPs. Once you get up and running, you can try with DHCP.

Frankly, I just wouldn't complicate something that isn't working yet. Get it working first, then break it

If you are not using DHCP on an interface, you have to tell dhcpd to not use it add to dhcpd.conf:

subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
}

That will basically say it does not need to worry about eth0.

The interfaces can be specified on the comamnd line, you will need to find out how to specify that in your distro.

Ok, I did that and now /etc/init.d/dhcp will start. The other computer still won't get an IP address. I crashed for the night. Hopefully I'll get to it some more tonight.
