I sit everything behind a Linksys Wireless hub that connects to eth0 for which I have it as dhcp client and it receives (192.168.1.102) from the hub in order to access the internet.  I also have eth2 which I made static, per K12LTSP instructions to 192.168.0.254/255.255.255.0.  This runs a null cable to the uplink port of my hub which in turn connects my lone test terminal client.  I am able to access the internet and when running

your dhcp server is running but probably on eth0. You say you are using 
Fedora (k12ltsp) so the easiest way to set this up is to set an argument 
for dhcpd in /etc/sysconfig/dhcpd. Create this file if it is not already 
created and add:
DHCPDARGS=eth2

This file is read by the dhcpd init script that the previous poster 
suggested changing.

Now when you start/restart you dhcp server with its init script (ie. 
service dhcpd restart) - the server will run only on eth2 ...

good luck
