I reinstalled and it is as you mentioned below the second option. cable modem > efw (24.72.112.29red/192.168.100.50green) > switch
During the initial setup ( blue screen) i am asked for the green IP whci I supplied with 192.168.100.50. After the reboot and connecting to the webgui I set the following: 1/7 : for red ethernet dhcp 2/7: None for orange, blue 3/7: green IP 192.168.100.50 subnet 255.255.255.0 eth1 4/7: red: etho hostname: xxxxx domain: zzzzzzzz.zz DNS: automatic 5/7: DNS: automatic 6/7: Save After this I have to switch the cable so it is: from the switch to the eth1 nic and eth0 to the cable modem. To be sure, I made a reboot and got no dhcp connection to the ISP. I tried from the terminal with 'dhclient eth0' and after a while it timed out with no response. Damn!! The nic was still active, I checked it a few times!! I searched for /var/efw/red/resolv.conf and this file was not created as there was nothing to create with as it was no connection. here a terminal screen of dhclient: --------------------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~ # dhclient eth0 Internet Systems Consortium DHCP Client V3.0.1 Copyright 2004 Internet Systems Consortium.

Where am I making the wrong move ?? I really can't see it. It's late here now and I will work on that further tomorrow. Thank you for your persistence. Hope to here from you tomorrow. Johannes So, where is the efw in that chain? Should be: cable modem > d-link (24.72.112.29 wan/192.168.0.1 lan) > efw (192.168.0.x red/ 192.168.1.1 lan) > switch or cable modem > efw (24.72.112.29 wan/192.168.0.1 lan) > switch Fill in the private ips above with what you actually use. Note the two different private ip addy ranges are needed in the first setup. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of turbo Sent: Wednesday, October 03, 2007 7:46 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Efw-user] I am lost with new install, help please okay, here is the setup: cable modem > d-link (no dhcp server for my LAN) > switch The dlink gets the ISP settings per dchp client (the dlink router itself= dchp release, dchp renew button) And those settings are the ones I noted. snipped a lot -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/I-am-lost-with-new-install%2C-help-please-tf4564215.html#a13032720 Sent from the efw-user mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
