HI again Ray, Thanks for keeping an eye on me. I had some things messed up before that by typing this email to you I started to see. So I will tell you what my new settings are now and my new outputs. I have made some very remarkable improvements now.
I AM the same guy who was aking about the five static IP's. However, I am just trying to get one static ip address working for now. You know the saying, KISS! I have the external firewall nic connected to the cable modem, the internal firewall nic connected to a laptop via a switch wich acts as a crossover cable. One of my main signs of success is if I can surf the internet from my laptop. Ok, from Network Configuration-Interfaces File I have the Fixed IP setting unremarked (less #) , Specifically: auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 24.227.166 netmask 255.255.255.248 broadcast 24.227.166.255 gateway 24.227.166.193 Then further down on Step 2 I have the default setting unremarked, specifically: auto eth1 iface eth1 inet static address 192.168.1.254 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255 Then on Network configuration - Resolv.comf I have my dns nameservers entered. Nameserver 24.93.40.62 Nameserver 24.93.40.63 Then on Packages - Modules -Kernel modules to load at boot I have unremarked: crc32 8390 ne2k-pci mii 8139too This was done to make my NIC's function. I wasn't sure if I needed to actually put the files on the disk so I put the ones I could find on there, specifically: mii, 8390, and ne2k-pci. I could not find crc32 or 8139too. Do i need them? Do I need the others that are already on the disk or can I remove them? I cannot think of ANYTHING else I have done. I mean it. If there is some stupid thing that I needed to do and I did not write about doing it, then it has not been done.

Ping 192.168.1.254 0% loss can the WinXP host ping the ISP's default gateway? Ping 24.227.166.193 100% loss can the WinXP host ping the DNS servers? Ping 24.93.40.62 100 % loss can the WinXP host ping a known-good Internet address? Probably not? can the LEAF router ping the WinXP host? can the LEAF router ping the ISP's default gateway? can the LEAF router ping the DNS servers? can the LEAF router ping a known-good Internet address? It looks like it is successfully pinging the winxp host, default gateway, and the dns servers but it just keep going and going, pinging over and over. How do you stop that? Finally, from my winxp host, when I get on Internet Explorer and try to go to Yahoo.com it tells me The page cannot be displayed The page you are looking for is currently unavailable. The Web site might be experiencing technical difficulties, or you may need to adjust your browser settings. However, When I go to 192.168.1.254 Weblet does open and I am able to brouse around it, it is very cool. ________________________________________________________________ The best thing to hit the Internet in years - Juno SpeedBand!
