Do you think you could help me out for one minute? I have a small problem with smoothwall. My question is this, I cant get out to the net from my network. I can go to the smooth wall box and ping the work friom it but can't from anyother box. All the boxs on the local entwork can see eachother and even see the smooth box, but nothing out. I know very little about gateways and nat ..... etc so I have not clue on how to set up port forwarding ..ect. I have been reading but not sure how to get it to work with dhcp from my isp. smoothwall IP's DHCP and internal 192.168.1.1(green). The etc/host file has only 2 entries, 1 localhost 127.... 2nd 192.168.1.1 should there not be another entry for the DHCP from my ISP? what should it be? It's DHCP so I can't hard code it..... also if I do a route -n it only gives me the internal network IP 192.168.1.1, should there not be another entry for the DHCP? so it knows where to route outgoing request? any help would be good... It would keep the wife off my a..

It's free, simple, and you can run it on an old 486.
