Hi,

i have the following scenario. I have two routers that are chained. The first one is connected to a DHCP server and retrieves successfully ip addresses. Is it possbile to configure this one so that it forwards the dhcp requests of the second one, so that the second one also retrieves an ip address from the dhcp server(running at my pc)? In general, how can i configure the first router to forward all the trafic with destination of the second router after the second has retrieved successfully an ip address?

Thanks!

Sounds like the first one should act like a switch. If it has a dedicated wan interface (eth1) then bridge it to lan and set the lan bridge to dhcp. If wan is a switch port then reconfigure the switch to include all ports in the lan vlan and set the bridge to dhcp.
