Hi everyone, I was trying to setup a very simple firewall and then build up from there. I am using Bering uClibc 2.1.2
my setup is a cable modem with a static IP (I actually have 5 ip's but i'm trying to keep it simple to start) going to the firewall in the first nic port, then from the firewall's second nic port to a switch (because i don't own a crossover cable), then to a laptop. I have been messing around with Network configurations: interfaces file. From step 1 I have tried to setup option 1.2 but i don't understand the settings completely since they look a little different from my standard Linksys router. What do I fill in for address, broadcast, and gateway? My Isp gave me a subnet mask of 255.255.255.248 with my static ips. I used to input dns1 and dns2 in my Linksys Router, do i still have to do this? Then for step 2 I left it alone (default settings looked ok to me) for eth 1. I thought i would first try to get on the internet with the laptop but it doesn't get to the internet. Is there a simple setting I need to change to fix this? I don't even know if the nics are talking to the LEAF? How do I know which is Eth1 and Eth0? Is there a way to determine if leaf has installed the nic cards properly or at all? I didn't load any special drivers because it looked like maybe they will work if the nics are common enough. I haven't messed with anything else in the system. do i need to change some settings in shorewall in order for the laptop to access the internet? Then of course there are the laptop settings, I am running Windows XP Pro. I have given it the following fixed ip settings: ip address: 192.168.1.5 seb net mask: 255.255.255.0 default gateway: 192.168.1.1 DNS1 and DNS2: the supplied info from my ISP btw, how do I change the login and password when LEAF boots up? Please be kind to the noob, I really want to learn this and I really appreciate all the detail and over-simplification you can stand to type. I know a very little about Routing, less about firewalls, and absolutely nothing about Linux. I have been sucking on the Microsoft tit forever.
