I have just successfully installed Smoothwall 1.0 on a PII box (after
changing DLink530TX+ rev "D" for a Rev "A" nic).
Using a crossover cable I can successfully access the Smoothwall box from
my K6 PC running Mandrake 9.0. (uses a Dlink DFE 530TX rev "A" nic)
Trying the same thing from my K7 box (modem attached, setup and working),
also with Mandrake 9.0, I can successfully "ping" the Smoothwall box from a
terminal, both as Root and as User. However, when I try to access the
Smoothwall box via a browser (Konqueror, Galeon or Opera ) I get an error
message, either "network problem", "connection refused" or "could not
connect", depending on the browser.
On this box Mandrake shows the Lan Config as "eth0 192.168.1.3 dhcp via
rhine up" (DLink DFE 530TX+ "rev D" nic).
I have tried connecting with Shorewall, privoxy and the modem on and off in
all combos, ensuring that I reset the browser proxy settings accordingly,
with the same result.
Am I correct in thinking that the problem stems from having the external
modem connected and installed on the K7 box whilst also having this box
connected to the Smoothwall box? (ie Mandrake is set to use the Modem for
internet connection, but the Nic for Lan connection.)
If so, is there a fix for this, preferably without having to remove the
modem (I also run Win XP on the K7 and can't get the DLink card installed
under same - no apparent driver on DLink site for XP). Once I get the nic
installed under XP I'll permanently attach modem to Smoothwall box, and
update Mandrake settings.
Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.
