Question Setting up Smoothwall 0.9.9


Hi all

Following is what I have setup

Installed smoothwall 0.9.9

Using green and red

Green info:
IP Address = 192.168.0.19
Adaptor = 3com Etherlink PCI lll/xl

Red info:
IP Address = 192.168.0.16 (Note: My CISCO Router is routing my public IP to 192.168.0.16)
Gateway = 192.168.0.254
DNS = 139.130.4.4 & 203.50.2.71
Adaptor = Realtek RTL8139

Local PC attached to smoothwall box:
IP Address = 192.168.0.20


Fault = I'm cannot get any machines to surf the internet. But all machines are able to connect to the smoothwall box. Yet If I setup a w2k box with above setting I have no problems surfing.

Please advise what I'm doing wrong.

Due to what I've read on the net so far it seems that I must be doing something stupid but I just can't work out what it is. It may be due to this being the first time I've used Linux.

Thankyou in advanced

Is the smoothwall's IP address on the green net listed as the default gateway for all the machines ??? How about the subnet masks ??

I Assume you are not running DHCPd on the smoothy.

Yes IP Address on green is listen as the default gateway for all machines. Subnet mask I'm using on all machines is 255.255.255.0

No I'm not running dhcp. However I'm running dhcp on a w2k server box.

If you're using the default mask and splitting the ip addresses across 2 interfaces, how does the box know where to route?

ie. a packet for 192.168.0.0 has 2 exits from the smoothy: red and green, both metric 0!

Try subnetting the range or using 2 class C ranges.
