:-)<BR>>>><BR>>>><BR>>>>> Hi
Courtney,<BR>>>>><BR>>>>> Let's approach the problem
a step at a time.<BR>>>>><BR>>>>> 1) Connect the
machine running smoothwall directly to the internet. The<BR>>>>>
goal here is to connect your modem to the "red" NIC so that
interface<BR>>>>> has the public IP address given to you by your
internet service provider<BR>>>>> (eg 216.77.188.41). If you
have a cable modem this si probably as simple<BR>>>>> as
plugging it in. If you have a DSL modem from Bellsouth it may be
set<BR>>>>> up to act as a router; then you will need to figure
out how to change it<BR>>>>> to act as a
bridge.<BR>>>>><BR>>>>> 2) Configure your private
network in smoothwall. I do not have any<BR>>>>> experience
doing this, but I imagine you assign a private IP address
to<BR>>>>> your "green" NIC (e.g. 192.168.1.1), set up a DHCP
server to listen on<BR>>>>> your "green" NIC and assign a range
of addresses (eg 192.168.1.100 -<BR>>>>> 192.168.1.200), and
tell smoothwall to forward traffic from "green" to<BR>>>>>
"red".<BR>>>>><BR>>>>> 3) Connect your ethernet hub
to the "green" interface. You should be<BR>>>>> able to connect
your machines with wired NICS to the hub and access the<BR>>>>>
internet.<BR>>>>><BR>>>>> 4) DON'T connect your
wireless router to the hub or maching running<BR>>>>> smoothwall
yet. Plug in just the power cord. Connect to it from
your<BR>>>>> windows laptop. Log in to the linksys web
interface. Turn off the<BR>>>>> linksys DHCP server. The linksys
should have fields to set up internal<BR>>>>> and external IP
addresses. Do not set up an external address. Give it an<BR>>>>>
internal address on the same network as your smoothwall box
(e.g.<BR>>>>> 192.168.1.2). Save these settings and unplug the
linksys. NOW connect<BR>>>>> one of the 4 internal ethernet
ports on the linksys to one of the ports<BR>>>>> on your hub
using a crossover cable. Plug the linksys power back in.<BR>>>>>
Your should be able to access the internet from your machines with
wifi<BR>>>>> now.<BR>>>>><BR>>>>>
