Hi trader, I just copy the post from Igor below, as he describes the steps very well. As you have a 3rd nic, just use the steps in the gui.
With which kind of unit are you connecting efw to the internet ? ---------------------------------------- (1) Install EFW into your "box" with no connections -- both NICs have no cables connected to them. Set up the Green IP as 192.168.100.50/255.255.255.0 (2) Connect your internal LAN computer [computer 2], either directly with a cross-over cable, or via a switch, to the "GREEN" NIC. (2a) Out of the box, GREEN DHCP may not be running, so set computer 2 to a static IP such as 192.168.100.100. (2b) If you don't know for sure which NIC is "GREEN", you may have to experiment. Connect "computer 2" to one of the NICs and try to ping 192.168.100.50 (=EFW). If you get a response, congratulations you are connected to the GREEN NIC. If not, unplug the cable and connect to the other NIC and repeat the test. If neither NIC responds, you have a problem. STOP HERE. The problem is almost certainly a hardware or NIC driver problem. (3) Once the client is connected to GREEN on EFW, start a web browser on compter 2 and connect to the EFW web gui (https://192.168.100.50:10433/). (3a) Configure the network using the EFW Web GUI, assigning GREEN to the current NIC (that one that is already GREEN) and RED to your other NIC. Set up RED IP as appropriate (static IP or IP from DHCP, etc). MAKE SURE THAT GREEN IS ASSIGNED TO THE CURRENT GREEN NIC (If you don't like this, just do it this way for now and you can change it later). (4) Shutdown EFW. Shutdown the cable modem. Shutdown computer 2. Connect the Cable modem to the EFW RED NIC. Power up the cable modem. Power up EFW. Power up computer 2. Bring up the EFW GUI in a browser on Computer 2. You should see that you have a solid green "Connected" display on the Home (Status) page. If not, cycle the connection using the check box. If you still don't get a green "Connected" display, STOP HERE. Go back and check that the RED configuration you entered is correct. (5) If step 4 works, then from computer 2, try to open the Google home page (or your favorite "reliable" web page on the internet). If it doesn't work, try to do it using an IP address instead of www.google.com. ----------------------------------- And to reply to a post, just hit the reply button which is showing when you are reading the post.
