Exactly. This is what I want. I'm having trouble configuring it. I don't quite 
understand the "green,orange,red) NIC configuration.

Is there anyone here that could help me?


For the "green+orange+red" configuration. Does this mean I require three NIC's to be 
installed?

I have a cable modem for my internet connection. I want to have smoothwall running on 
one PC and have my other two PCs inside but I want to be able 
to access the two internal PC from work via ftp and http. I want to have a webserver 
running on my internal box but have it accessible to the outside 
based on IP.

Here is a quick doodle of the configuration I have.

/\/\/\ [Internet] ------------- [cable modem]
                                                  |
                                                  |
                                        [SmoothWall (with two NICs)]
                                           |          |
                                           |          |
                                           |          ---------- [Development PC]
                                           |          
                                           | 
                                           -------------------[Web Server/FTP Server]

What configuration should I chose when installing Smoothwall and what IPs should I 
assign to the above machnies.
I don't have a static IP for my cable modem so I require DHCP configuration.

Thanks much
