Thanks to the list, this problem is now solved. Smoothwall has a SETUP that can be re-run in order to make those changes...it was that simple...you just need to know it :-)

We're able to make changes to the config (network config) via the commandline, however when rebooting the pc (with fw software) it still seems to load the old config. We can then again make the same change via the commandline. I suppose it's possible to make the change in some kind of config file? If so could anybody enlight me on what file(s) and how to change them? Commands we had to do to make the needed changes ifconfig eth2 down ifconfig eth2 new.ip.address.something netmask 255.255.255.252 ifconfig eth2 up route add default gw other.ip.adddress.something (this temp firewall is running SmoothWall Express 2.0- I have console access to the system so I can make all needed changes).
