<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Jim,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks for the suggestion, which I attempted to
implement this PM, without success.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>SmoothWall has recognized and loaded modules for
all 3 NICs, so I assume they are ready to go:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Ethernet cables plugged into the
NICs:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> BellSouth DSL
modem [RED]
is 192.168.1.x; i.e. whatever
Bellsouth dhcp assigns...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Lan ethernet
hub
[GREEN] is
192.168.2.2; no LAN members plugged in yet</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Linksys wireless
router [ORANGE] is
192.168.3.3; with ethernet cable plugged into the "internet'
port rather than any of the ethernet ports (4)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>DHCP Server is not enabled.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>It is unclear to me what the NIC addresses should
be and as a result, I guess, I am unable, from the SmoothWall box, to ping
any internet site by numeric or resolvable address.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>What's wrong and how should I fix it
?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks,</FONT></DIV>
