Help me with eth1 and dhcp !

Question

Hey there, i think i am close on this one. i have searched from pillar to post on forums everywhere. so here goes..
i connect to the internet via cablemodem to eth0
i want to serve out dhcp to another computer via eth1
(yep, using crossover cable)
it worked with assigning a static ip but i cant get it to do dhcp.
firestarter fails when i try to set it up like that.
i have dnsmasq and all the stuff i think i need.
anyone have some advice ?
