You’ll need to configure on the PXE boot host - eth1 to use something else, such as 192.168.2.0/24. The guest machine that will be PXE booted will need an IP in the 192.168.2.0/24 range also.

<div>I may still hook those two machine back together and give it a

<div><br></div>
<div>So, I'll have to assign and IP address to the client machine
that is the same subnet as the IP address that the host machine
gets from the router?? i.e. - 192.168.1.X</div>
<div>The router wont have an issue with that, simply because it is
only seeing the traffic as coming from the connected machine? Is
that correct?</div>

<p dir="ltr">Greetings,</p>
<p dir="ltr">With the configuration you described here you'd
probably want to look at iptables on the host machine for all of
the forwarding-fu. It's as not difficult as it sounds but it
can get somewhat confusing. I've never personally attempted
it with a direct connection to the client but it *shouldn't* be
much different.</p>

still want to give it a shot I'd be happy to help you try to get it

go let me know.</p>

<div dir="ltr">Well, it's one of those things where I don't "have"
to use a PXE boot. But I just wanted to see if I could figure

<div><br></div>
<div><a href="http://www.fic.com.tw/product/iona603.aspx" target="_blank">http://www.fic.com.tw/product/iona603.aspx</a>
obviously, no optical drive. I was able to squeeze a

<div><br></div>
<div>All of the stuff I've been finding online is for configuring
the client machine (target of install) with it being a part of the
regular network, i.e.-attached</div>
<div>to the router like the other machines, including the one with

<div><br></div>
<div>My configuration was to have the client machine directly
attached to the host machine (via eth0) which was then
attached to the router for web access</div>
<div>(via eth1). The host machine has two NICs built onto the
motherboard.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Unfortunately, with my limited networking knowledge (enough to
get myself into trouble) I was not able to figure out how to use
the host machine not only as</div>
<div>the PXE boot host with the install files, but also the bridge
to allow the client doing the Debian install to have internet
access to complete the installation via</div>
<div>a mirror.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>I ended up just using a Debian installation ISO on a 1
gigabyte USB flash memory stick and ran the network cable
direct to the router. So far, so good. If I</div>
<div>can get basic Debian install on the AMD Geode, I want to try
building a cut-down, streamlined kernel for it; again, just to see
if I can get it to work.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>I didn't want to get too carried away with my workstation
machine (host) as I mainly use it to edit video/audio; no telling
what I might have done had I started trying to</div>
<div>set up a mirror on that machine for the client to
use....eek.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Thanks for the suggestions, though. I appreciate the
input!</div>

**initial disclaimer; new to this stuff, not good with

I was able to get a PXE boot started for a Debian installation on
an AMD Geode machine. The installer begins fine and it gets
to the point of asking for a mirror to use for installation
packages. I select the main Debian mirror. This is where it
fails as it seems unable to access the internet. Alt-F4 shows
messages on the client ending with:<br>

Do you have to do a PXE boot?<br>
<br>
Can you boot an ISO image and install from that?<br>
<br>
After the install then do the final setup for what you
need.<span><font color="#888888"><br>
