How are you using it ? > >It depends on the server role. I have a line that act as a communication gateway, and they have two NICs that work like a charm. I think that you're having issues with some minor configuration mistake.
I expect you are right.. I hope you are right. I'm have been in IT long enough to know I dont know everything and all is possible, but what have I done wrong!? As an example install set up let me run through this. I'm implementing this as I type so it is exact. Basing it on this http://www.gliffy.com/pubdoc/2049706/L.png I am going to use a static IP for the WAN facing eth0 instead of DHCP Check Module Status: *Network ** *YES *Firewall* * *No *Antivirus ** *No* DHCP ** * YES *DNS ** * YES* Backup** ** *No* ** Events** ** * YES* Logs** ** * YES* Monitor** ** * YES* NTP** * YES* ** **VPN *No* ** * *Software Management** *YES* ** **Traffic Shaping ** *No* **Users and Groups** *YES* ** **Web Server** *No* ** **Mail ** *No *RADIUS ** *No* **File Sharing ** *YES* ** **HTTP Proxy ** *No* **User Corner ** *YES* **Webmail ** *No* **Groupware ** *No* **Printer Sharing** *YES Go to *Netwodk -> Interfaces* eth0 Method Static External (WAN) Yes IP address 192.168.2.80 (This is out of the DHCP range of the router on the WAN) Netmask 255.255.255.0 * * Press* change * Save and confirm go to eth1 Method: Static External (WAN): NO IP address: 192.168.4.1 Netmask: 255.255.255.0 Press* change * Save and confirm Go to Network -> Gateways (No records listed yet ) Add new Enabled: YES Name : TheGateway IP address: 192.168.2.1 Interface: eth0 Weight: 1 default: YES Press Add (Gateway list is shown with all settings as above) Save and confirm Go to DHCP select static interface eth1 (LAN facing eth) Defaults for common options tab: Default gateway: eBox Search Domain: Custom [Blank] Primary nameserver: local eBox DNS Secondary nameserver: [Blank] NTP server: None Wins server: None (NOTE making any changes to above default setting requires setting search domain but its not necessary to change these. It is enough to have the DHCP range configured to get the clients getting an IP and gateway) go to Ranges near bottom of page click Add new Name: LANRange >From : 192.168.4.100 To : 192.168.4.200 Save and confirm Check range in displayed in list as per settings: YES Check LAN client is getting IP and gateway: YES IP: 192.168.4.199 Default Rout: 192.168.4.1 primary DNS: 192.168.4.1 on LAN client Ping 192.168.4.1: YES ping OK on LAN client Ping 192.168.2.80: YES ping OK on LAN client Ping 192.168.2.1: NO ping NOT OK Test Internet.

Whats missing ? Fred.
