Take care to know which Nic is going to be eth0 or eth1 i.e. which Nic is which. Smoothwall recognizes them alphabetically on vendor. I had an old 3com 10M isa card for the (red)internet/cable connection (don't need 100M there) and a realtek 10/100 for the (green)network. The 3com always got recognized first and appointed "green"=:o( Forcing me to take it out, configure the realtek as "green" and then insert the 3com ---and no, I didn't get burned. I remembered to shutdown the box first=:o) Good luck, HarM
