Smoothwall Help ? Anyone ??

[murph]

I can't seem to get everything working here for some reason.

Can anyone tell me if this is correct or not ?

I have the cable modem going to the red interface. The green interface is going to the router, but here is where I am confused. Is the green interface supposed to plug into the "Internet" port of the router or just one of the lan ports ? I think its just one of the lan ports, but I still can't get it to work.

I disabled DHCP on the router (Linksys), Enabled DHCP on the Smoothwall, but when I renew the IP address, it gives me back a lan address that is not specified from Smoothwall. IE I have Smoothwall only set up to give out addresses from 192.168.1.6 and up but it returns a .100 IP.

When I run ipconfig it shows me that the default gateway is smoothwall, but I can't seem to get anything to connect to the net...any suggestions ?

I checked out some of the smoothwall site, but still with no luck.

If it helps, I think it might be something to do with the red interface not being configured correctly.

Does anyone know what I enter in the "DHCP" hostname field when I set the red interface to use DHCP from my isp ?

Any and all suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks,
Murph

reboot the linksys, reboot your PC.?

DNS Server set to the smoothwall?

It seems you want your Linksys to act as a switch -- you will want to connect it via the LAN port (as you mentioned) to the smoothwall's GREEN interface. And yes, make sure DHCP is off on the Linksys.

What did you set the IP of the LInksys as?
