Hello everyone,
I have setup up a EFW (version 2.5) in my home, but am unable to get my
"main uplink" to connect. Every time I click on System -> Dashboard and
look at the Uplinks section, the status sits at connecting, then changes to
failed. I am using comcast as an ISP here is my hardware setup:
Linksys cable modem -> cisco switch -> EFW -> another switch for home
network
Under network configurations:
page 1/8 - chose Ethernet DHCP (Number of interfaces is 2)
page 2/8 - chose network zones -> NONE for blue and orange
page 3/8 - chose correct green NIC (ip address 192.168.110.1 - mask /24 -
255.255.255.0
page 4/8 - chose correct red NIC (left MTU and Spoof Mac blank) - DNS was
manual
page 5/8 - looked up comcast DNS primary/sec servers and enter ip
page 6/8 - admin mail (left blank)
page 7/8 apply
I have had a few , who have EFW configured at home, take a look at this and
they have said that all other settings looks correct.
One of my is using comcast and he said he had to spoof his mac address on
page 4/8 of the network setup wizard. He suggested that I take my laptop
and plug it directly into the cable mode, wait for the ip to be assigned
and make sure I can browse the internet. Then do an ipconfig /all and look
at the mac address of the laptop and us that on page 4/8 of the network
wizard. Here was his suggestion for hardware:
Linksys cable modem -> EFW -> another switch for home network
I tried this and was not successful.
The end result is the EFW is up and running, DHCP is working, but I am
unable to get out and browse any sites.
Thanks for this list, any ideas?
