<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT><BR></DIV>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><BR>
