Hi CLUG,
It's woodsey here. I never dreamed that my off the cuff comment would start such a debate. Yes it was just a joke "what shall I do with it? - polite answers only please" .... audience collapses in paroxysms of mirth!
Anyway at the risk of being "flamed" or branded an idiot or maybe even a flaming idiot, I offer my thanks to all the guys who helped with my list of questions.
Going to my Xtinybin.tar file and extracting the files did not work as I received the response:
*"hmm this doesn't look like a tar file only 122 bytes read" *
then back to the prompt
Same message when trying to read the files within. Perhaps the thing got corrupted during the download. I'll try again.
Sounds like it's got corrupted somewhere along the line.
Does anyone know if the DMZ on a Smoothwall (orange interface) should be on a different Netmask than the LAN (green interface)? My server on the DMZ can log in to the admin page on the Smoothwall and on to the Internet but I can't access my website from outside.
Yes, it should. You will also need to forward incoming traffic on port 80 to your server in the dmz before you will be able to see it.
The way that most firewalls work is to assign levels of security to each subnet. Green , your internal network, is the highest, followed by your dmz, and finally the internet. You don't need to enable anything to access a level of lower security ( routing may be a different matter, however! ).
So, you need to do nothing clever with the firewall to enable the access of your dmz or the internet from your internal network, but you do need to set stuff up to go uphill from the internet to the dmz or your internal network.
The act of enabling a single port ( 80 for http traffic ) is usually known as 'pinholing'.
hth,
