linksys router & ipcop cant figure it out
 

I've been going at this all evening and can not get the orange
network to work on my ipcop install...

I think the problem is in the router firmware settings.

I've got a old box 733mhz with three network cards installed.

Red interface is working
green interface is working (192.168.1.1)

The problem is the wireless router. In ipcop it's set to Inet Address 192.168.2.1 and I can't ping anything.

In the green interface I can ping the orange interface.

Has anyone got a linksys wrt54gs set up on ipcop that may
can help me out with the settings.

Maybe I'm looking at this all wrong. I am trying to understand how the addresses are obtained. The way I'm looking at it is that on the green interface each computer should request their address from the ipcop-server. But how about this router on the orange or blue interface? If the router is set to dhcp wouldn't the wired & wireless pc's request their address from the router ? if that's the case how do I configure the router to get address from the ipcop server or does it work that way.

I just really don't understand how the router works when you have a ipcop server/firewall.

Help would be greatly appreciated.

I take it the red is the Internet and Orange is the dmz. You shouldn't be able to ping from the dmz to a LAN host. You want it isolated, since it is exposed to the internet. If it becomes compromised you don't want your LAN computers exposed.

FWIW, both SmoothWall & IPCop use color coding for the networks & their interfaces:

• Red - the 'Net, untrusted
• Green - your LAN
• Orange - your DMZ
• Blue - Wireless (a recent addition)

Color coding update
 

Color coding update: SmoothWall 3.0 is using "Purple" for wireless.

OP, did you ever solve your problem?

Also, did you really mean to have the WRT54GS be "Orange" rather than "Blue" -- it might make difference.
