not quite sure what I did, however, when I added another nic to the server, I was able to get access again. It appears to me, the networking is
fubar, so I have re-installed. What I want to do is as follows.
I have 2 interfaces eno1 & eno2. eno1 is the internet facing interface and eno2 will be the lan side interface. I want to setup vm1, as the gateway/router, as well as run a dhcp & samba sever for the internal lan. The dhcp will provide ip's to the internal lan, ( which is a mixed setup, a macos filemaker server) among a number of workstations. eno1 will have a routable static ip. Will I need to have a bridge for eno1 and eno2. and is it prudent to asign a private ip ( non routable, ie. 192.168.X.X) to the bridge ?
