I believe your ISP connected side of the firewall should use 192.168.254.2 and 192.168.254.254 as the default gateway. What's on your side of the firewall is no concern of your ISP as long as it does not conflict with your ISP's IP adresses. This means that your ISP sees your firewall as 192.168.254.2 and that 192.168.254.254 is a router(and/or firewall) on your ISP's LAN that your firewall routes all outgoing traffic to. On your own LAN you should set up the firewall on any free adress on the 192.168.10.x net and all your clients on the lan shouls set that adress as their default gateway(router). This means that your client sends all it's traffic which is not for the 192.168.10.x net through the default router, which is your firewall. The firewall sends all traffic not for the 192.168.254.x net through it's default router that is 192.168.254.254. 192.168.254.254 is propably a firewall that your ISP has since all 192.168.x.x addresses are reserved for firewalled-LANs. Or it can be a router that routes the packets to some other destination, but somewhere it will reach a firewall at which your packages enters the "real" internet. I hope this helps... /Bell ----- Original Message ----- From: Philip Hickey To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, December 03, 1999 4:55 PM Krister, My ISP told me to use 192.168.254.2 for my firewall PC with the NIC connected to the web. When STN is running I can ping that PC but I cannot access the web.My ISP told me that my Gateway address should be 192.168.254.254 si I'm confused as to what he IP address of the STN machine should be 254 or 2 ?? Also when I change the IP addr of my client machine to 192.168.254.3 I cannot access my LAN anymore (Unless I change it back to 192.168.10.XXX). My LAN is just a single LAN.
