Tom, or whomever reads this, when I say disconnect I mean close out IE6, 
sorry for so unclear on this point. My IP address never changes unless I 
unplug the modem. I have had the same IP address for ... well since I 
had to reset it to hook it up to my Linux box.which was 2 weeks ago. If 
I set DHCP on my eth1 interface that will contradict the static address 
I have assigned to it, won''t it? I will attach the interface file this 
time, thought I had it in there last time...oops.

# Shorewall 1.3 -- Interfaces File
#
# /etc/shorewall/interfaces
#
#   You must add an entry in this file for each network interface on your
#   firewall system.
#
# Columns are:
#
#   ZONE        Zone for this interface. Must match the short name
#           of a zone defined in /etc/shorewall/zones.
#
#           If the interface serves multiple zones that will be
#           defined in the /etc/shorewall/hosts file, you should
#           place "-" in this column.
#   
#   INTERFACE   Name of interface. Each interface may be listed only
#           once in this file. You may NOT specify the name of
#           an alias (e.g., eth0:0) here; see
#           http://www.shorewall.net/FAQ.htm#faq18
#
#           DO NOT DEFINE THE LOOPBACK INTERFACE (lo) IN THIS FILE.
#
#   BROADCAST   The broadcast address for the subnetwork to which the
#           interface belongs. For P-T-P interfaces, this
#           column is left black.If the interface has multiple
#           addresses on multiple subnets then list the broadcast
#           addresses as a comma-separated list.
#                       
#           If you use the special value "detect", the firewall
#           will detect the broadcast address for you. If you
#           select this option, the interface must be up before
#           the firewall is started, you must have iproute
#           installed and the interface must only be associated
#           with a single subnet.
#           
#           If you don''t want to give a value for this column but
#           you want to enter a value in the OPTIONS column, enter
#           "-" in this column.
#
#   OPTIONS     A comma-separated list of options including the
#           following:
#
#           dhcp         - interface is managed by DHCP or used by
#                                      a DHCP server running on the firewall or
#                      you have a static IP but are on a LAN
#                      segment with lots of Laptop DHCP clients.
#           routestopped - (Deprecated -- use 
#                      /etc/shorewall/routestopped)
#                      When the firewall is stopped, allow
#                      and route traffic to and from this
#                      interface.
#           norfc1918    - This interface should not receive
#                      any packets whose source is in one
#                      of the ranges reserved by RFC 1918
#                      (i.e., private or "non-routable"
#                      addresses. If packet mangling is
#                      enabled in shorewall.conf, packets
#                      whose destination addresses are
#                      reserved by RFC 1918 are also rejected.
#           multi        - This interface has multiple IP
#                      addresses and you want to be able to
#                      route between them.
#           routefilter  - turn on kernel route filtering for this
#                      interface (anti-spoofing measure). This
#                                      option can also be enabled globally in
#                      the /etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf file.
#           dropunclean  - Logs and drops mangled/invalid packets
#
#           logunclean   - Logs mangled/invalid packets but does
#                      not drop them.
#           blacklist    - Check packets arriving on this interface
#                      against the /etc/shorewall/blacklist
#                      file.
#           maclist      - Connection requests from this interface
#                      are compared against the contents of
#                      /etc/shorewall/maclist. If this option
#                      is specified, the interface must be
#                      an ethernet NIC and must be up before
#                      Shorewall is started.
#           tcpflags     - Packets arriving on this interface are
#                      checked for certain illegal combinations
#                      of TCP flags. Packets found to have
#                      such a combination of flags are handled
#                      according to the setting of
#                      TCP_FLAGS_DISPOSITION after having been
#                      logged according to the setting of
#                      TCP_FLAGS_LOG_LEVEL.
#           proxyarp     - 
#               Sets 
#               /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/<interface>/proxy_arp.
#               Do NOT use this option if you are
#               employing Proxy ARP through entries in
#               /etc/shorewall/proxyarp. This option is
#               intended soley for use with Proxy ARP
#               sub-networking as described at:
#               http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/mini/Proxy-ARP-Subnet
#           
#           The order in which you list the options is not
#           significant but the list should have no embedded white
#           space.
#
#   Example 1:  Suppose you have eth0 connected to a DSL modem and
#           eth1 connected to your local network and that your
#           local subnet is 192.168.1.0/24. The interface gets
#           it''s IP address via DHCP from subnet
#           206.191.149.192/27. You have a DMZ with subnet
#           192.168.2.0/24 using eth2. You want to be able to
#           access the firewall from the local network when the
#           firewall is stopped.
#
#           Your entries for this setup would look like:
#
#           net eth0    206.191.149.223 dhcp
#           local   eth1    192.168.1.255   routestopped
#           dmz eth2    192.168.2.255
#
#   Example 2:  The same configuration without specifying broadcast
#           addresses is:
#
#           net eth0    detect      dhcp
#           loc eth1    detect      routestopped
#           dmz eth2    detect
#
#   Example 3:  You have a simple dial-in system with no ethernet
#           connections.
#
