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.
