I'll try to help remove some Smoothwall confusion here, I use it at home for my firewall too.
Red IP: The IP of the NIC that is exposed to the untrusted network. For a home user, this would be the IP assigned by your cable provider. No system Green IP: The IP of the NIC attached to your internal network. This is the IP used as the Gateway on your internal systems. Orange IP: This is the IP of the NIC attached to your DMZ network. Green can see every port in the Orange DMZ network, but not the other way around. As for versions, there are several. There is Smoothwall Express, which is the GPL version. There are also Corporate versions, which are based on the GPL version, but provide additional enhancements that have not yet been added to the express version. However, many people are writing their own modifications that add much of the Corporate advantage to the GPL version. As to the point of the original question, Smoothwall really doesn't play a part here. There is no DHCP, DNS, or other service running on the Orange NIC, so the system must be configured manually for IP, DNS, and Gateway information. This would be change the same way you change that on any Linux system that is not configured for DHCP. Without knowing your specific distribution, I am not able to provide a good answer for that. In all honesty, I have never had to change the static IP on a Linux system as I have everything set to DHCP and control that information remotely. I change the config on the DHCP server, reboot the affected system or refresh the IP information, and it is done. Post your distribution, software/server daemons you have installed (some need to be changed) and someone familiar with your specific system may be able to better help you.

I was wondering what a smoothwall was, so I checked it out. smoothwall.org first, then when I saw the full color 86 page administrator guide, I thought, wow, this can't be all of it, so I found smoothwall.net, where they will sell you all manner of 'smoothie' flavors AKA linux. Neat. I saw one of these at a tradeshow the other day for $2500, so I took a second look, at least that's my excuse to the list for taking a look and helping out. :P I'm assuming this is the commercial version in question. And from question 1 on the FAQ at smoothwall.net, it says that the orange interface is the DMZ and green is the local protected interface. There are also red IP's, not sure what they do. But this appears to be a traffic light running some form of embedded Linux. Also in the FAQ, Mel Gibson gets props for his appearance as Mad Max, in Mad Max 2: The 'Road Warrior', which is what you use 'on the road' to get at your 'smoothie' -- one must hope it will still work after the apocalypse. Myself, I would rather use industrial hemp for fuel than fight over dinosaur bones, but that would make a pretty boring action movie. Maybe fodder for a Mel Brooks comedy ? Anyhow, back to the question at hand, if you can change the IP address for a windows box via the smoothie windows GUI, chances are you can do the same for the Asterisk box. That's if you are running Asterisk on Linux, which I assume you didn't get it to compile on FreeBSD, so it's probably Linux. You might need to know the MAC address of the network card on the Asterisk box to change it's IP addy. Gateway and DNS should be the same as what you set on the windows boxes. Apart from not knowing or being able to understand how exactly you got Asterisk running (configs, etc.), if you can do the IP stuff with smoothie for windows, you can probably do it with smoothie for linux. --Chris -- Chris Maj, Rochester cmaj_at_freedomcorpse_dot_com Pronunciation Guide: Maj == May _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
