Hi Courtney,<br><br>It sounds like the DSL port on the SW box is not getting an IP address from the modem. The BOOTPROTO=dhcp line must be present in the config file for the NIC.<br><br>Here is an example:<br><br>cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0<br>
DEVICE=eth0<br>BOOTPROTO=none<br>ONBOOT=yes<br>IPADDR=192.168.0.2<br>NETMASK=255.255.255.0<br>GATEWAY=192.168.0.1<br><br>So my nic IP is 192.168.0.2 and it's gateway is 192.68.0.1. But your nic on the DSL line needs DHCP so remove the IPADDR, NETMASK, and GATEWAY lines and change BOOTPROTO=none to BOOTPROTO=dhcp<br>
<br>NOTE: I don't use SmoothWall so I'm not sure where the ifgcfg-eth0 file really is or it that is it's name.<br><br>Try and restart networking and see if you get a real IP address. If not, hook up a single nic machine to the modem and try again. The modem may be in stupid mode - power cycle it and wait for the lights to settle before restarting networking.<br>
<br>Pick an IP address for the other two NICs. It doesn't matter what itis as long as they are one seperate networks. So lets try green nic = 192.168.2.1 and orange = 192.168.5.1 .<br><br>Now setup dhcp and use two networks from above. Those two ip addresses become the gateway for each network. You will also need to echo "1">> /proc/sys/net/ip_forward or nothing will flow between the branches.<br>
