NasLite behind Devil-Linux
 

Could someone please direct me to some info.
I have a Naslite v1.x server <http://www.serverelements.com/naslite.php> with 4, 500 gig storage drives. Quit simple and easy to set up. It allows you to make use of old hardware, and boxes. It is not secure, only allowing one to use it as a home server. I set up Devil-Linux v1.4 on a somewhat older box. Simple and easy as well. I am connected to it on my home network. Installed on the Devil-Linux box, are 2 network cards. eth0 is connected to my internet (2wire is the brand name) box, and allows for network security, i.e. firewall. The eth1, I have connected to the Naslite box. I have tried for about 2 weeks to get the settings so that I can access my Naslite box through the Devil-Linux box.

Now comes my question. Is it possible to put Naslite behind this Devil-Linux box at all? I believe it may be some kind of routing problem, but I do think it is possible. As a last (kinda) resort, I am posting for some guidance. I have search many forums, and documents, such as http://www.aboutdebian.com/network.htm I am missing something. This is just something I am messing around with, but I will not let it kick my butt. So any guide to links or suggestions would be VERY appreciated.

This type of setup could come in handy for some and I will post here, and all the other forums I have looked at for help, the instructions and solutions to help them make their own. What am I using it for you may ask? Well a small school where I volunteer as a noon aid twice a week, was looking for a way to have a network at a low cost, so I said I would try to help. And the reason I don't just use Devil-Linux as the only server is that they want 2 separate networks if possible, and this was the cheapest solution I have found so far. I am not getting paid for this, using some of their old equipment, and they have very little money.

Thank You for your time

Can I assume this Devil-Linux box is connected to more than just the Naslite server (eg: other computers behind it), and that you can access it from other computers on the same side? Is your problem that of getting access to the naslite box from the other side of the firewall?

If so, look into port forwarding. What protocols are you using to access the nas? What ports to those run on? If this is not the case, can you please clarify the situation. Try making ascii drawings of the network layout, with ip addresses.

This info may help, I forgot to put it up on original post sorry.
When I enter ethtool eth1 on Devil-Linux command line, it says no setting available.
