ok, let's forget about anything else but firewall <-> lan for the moment.
One step at the time. Your lan is as you said here above.

Here again, I don't understand very well, so let's simplify it. I'll
consider you have only one gateway : 192.168.1.1

ok, then you don't have connection problems

Ok, i'll guess here you have a cable connection to mediaone 'so in the
Internet access section you have cable, Lan connection.

On the firewall (your choice to go there, through the ssh applet or
through a terminal), type 
route -n

Do the same thing on the client side and send the output in both cases.
 
A simple question: Why setting up an internal dhcp server on the eth0
interface of the firewall, if you are using a static IP address for your
test machine ? the dhcp server sets the dns entries in /etc/resolv.conf of
the clients and sets the default route also for the client. That means you
had to add the default route by hand on the client side.

here i don't understand again
the route oe is setting is to go outside your network, never the other way
around from the internet to your inside lan.


so, one firewall 192.168.1.1 (default route set up by mediaone on eth1)
and 192.168.1.10 (default route is your gateway: 192.168.1.1 on eth0, the
inly nic card on this computer)

Hello,

The lan and firewall should be connected, I was able to drop in the old
firewall box running dual boot 7.2/8.0 and had no problems immedietly
connecting from the lan to the internet.
The Ip's on the lan are as follows:
192.168.1.0/192.168.1.255 range
netmask 255.255.255.0

Test PC is at 192.168.1.12 (Hardcoded) with netmask 255.255.255.0, and
gateway at 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.10 alternately to test.
The system is triple booting Windows 2000/Mandrake8.0/Redhat7.1 with no
problems with the other router/firewall running iptables, snort, etc.

I have also tried the suggested dhcp incoming and DHCP to lan config where
on Eth1 I receive the internet from mediaone, and on Eth0 The lan computers
receive DHCP.

This install is from a burned copy of SNF, that I made last night after
receiving the good news that it was available from a fellow Mandrake user.

The only routes I need to set is from the internet to my local lan on the
255.255.255.0 subnet on the 192.168.1.x network

The really frustrating part was that the last message I got from the install
was that everything was successful, and to an ip that I cannot even see.
FYI, I did triple check the cables during my multiple re-installs to make
sure that it was not a hardware issue.

I look forward to any feedback, and hope to get this running this evening.

Hello,

The lan and firewall should be connected, I was able to drop in the old
firewall box running dual boot 7.2/8.0 and had no problems immedietly
connecting from the lan to the internet.
The Ip's on the lan are as follows:
192.168.1.0/192.168.1.255 range
netmask 255.255.255.0

Test PC is at 192.168.1.12 (Hardcoded) with netmask 255.255.255.0, and
gateway at 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.10 alternately to test.
The system is triple booting Windows 2000/Mandrake8.0/Redhat7.1 with no
problems with the other router/firewall running iptables, snort, etc.

I have also tried the suggested dhcp incoming and DHCP to lan config where
on Eth1 I receive the internet from mediaone, and on Eth0 The lan computers
receive DHCP.

This install is from a burned copy of SNF, that I made last night after
receiving the good news that it was available from a fellow Mandrake user.

The only routes I need to set is from the internet to my local lan on the
255.255.255.0 subnet on the 192.168.1.x network

The really frustrating part was that the last message I got from the install
was that everything was successful, and to an ip that I cannot even see.
FYI, I did triple check the cables during my multiple re-installs to make
sure that it was not a hardware issue.

I look forward to any feedback, and hope to get this running this evening.

obviously your lan and the firewall seem to be disconnected, somehow.

What Ips do you have on your lan, any details are welcomed ...
Also, what kind of install are we talking about ? Network install, cdrom
one ?

Also, what are the routes on your firewall, and what clients do you use?
