24 Ah, OK, so *this* is fine. The route for eth0 is correct. So it's just
25 the name resolving on the router that returns "localhost" when being
26 asked for the hostname for 192.168.0.1.
27
28 Since all of this isn't about name resolving, we probably can even
29 leave out that dnsmasq thingy. But your config is essentially this:
30
31 > interface=eth0
32 > dhcp-range=192.168.0.1,192.168.0.255,72h
33
34 If this is supposed to work, chose another beginning of that range, at
35 least 192.168.0.2. But I think dnsmasq is even clever enough not to
36 issue its own address to clients.
37
38 I'll write a separate post about the firewalling issues in a moment.
