Hey all, I am using the two interface setup with Shorewall but cannot get it to work. Shorewall starts fine and runs fine. Here first is a small diagram of my setup: Inet DSL modem -> eth0 -> eth1 -> dlink DI-624 wireless/wired router -> Wireless and wired lan. The problem arises in the router, The setup config calls to set the gateway of the other computers to shorewalls internal IP(eth1), but the only way I seem to be able to get any traffic, for some odd reason, is plugging eth1 into the MODEM port on the router, this does not assign it an IP though, so I set its IP up in linux and set the router to static IP and it still doesnt work. The only way I can get a real IP address is plugging it into port4 of the router, but I loose all net access for some strange reason. I have also tried bridged mode but couldnt get that to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated Slackware 9.1 is the distro -- Dustin Carl
