Hi I would like some advice on the setup of my home network. I have an endian firewall with 3 nics, of which I am using 2 nics currently (1 red, 1 green).
Green is a home network of 4 pcs. I now have a NAS box that I will be using for streaming AV to the pcs in the green zone. Due to cabling constraints in the house and a lack of spare switch ports, I would like to use the spare nic on the firewall to connect the NAS. I thought I would just attach the NAS to the spare nic using ethernet cross-over and then configure another green, or use the blue zone. Trouble is, I've tried both these scenarios and cannot manage to get it working. I can see the link is up on nic3, but cannot ping the NAS device at all. When I had the nics as 2 greens, the NAS had an address from the green zone range. When I configured the spare nic as blue, I used a seperate subnet. Should I be going about this differently? Am I missing something? Advice greatly appreciated.
