Hi all, I've been using Dachstein for months and it worked like a dream. Yesterday, I got a new piece of furniture so I moved all my computers around. Then I plugged all cables and everything back in, just the way they were before the moving, then something happened. My Dachstein firewall bound my external NIC to IP address 10.24.5.17.
Some info that may be useful: 1. I use MediaCom cable modem. MediaCom uses dynamic IP. 2. The current Dachstein firewall worked for months without problem prior to the moving. 3. I did NOT make any change to anything, except I moved my machines around. 4. The internal part of my home network works fine. I can ping each machine, including 192.168.1.254, which is the internal NIC of the firewall. 5. I connected my Mandrake Linux machine DIRECTLY to the cable modem and it acquired the IP address with NO problem. 6. I connected my Windows machine DIRECTLY to the cable modem and it acquired the IP address with NO problem. 7. I tried to use Eiger. Same problem. The firewall bounds 10.24.5 17 to my external NIC. 8. I looked at the message when the firewall booted up: it shows that the firewall machine correctly identified the DHCP server at 12.223.4.34. BTW, 12.223.4.34 is also the DHCP server used by the Windows machine and Mandrake machine. By the look of the message, which shows all the steps the firewall took to get the new IP, everything worked fine until the binding. In other words, the binding of the IP is wrong, everthing else seems in order. 9. This morning, I tested again with Eiger. This time the firewall machine binds 10.24.6.16 to my external NIC. 10. I tested the hardware and the wiring. They all seem working fine. I love this firewall, it is a PI-90 machine running on a floppy. Please help me fix it! I will gladly provide any further info you may need to help me... __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
