Firewall/Networking Question

Dec 24, 2007 0 Replies

Greetings, I apologize if this isn't in the correct group.



I'm working on my home network and wanted to add a firewall in the mix of things.



My set up is looking like this:



Cable Modem --- Firewall --- Linksys WRT54g --- Computers



I can't get this scenario to work for the life of me. The Firewall is on a three leg network, one to the internet with 4 static IPs, one going to my internal LAN and the other going to a DMZ.



When setting up the internal network I was specifying the Firewall as the gateway, 10.12.1.254, my router IP had an IP of 10.12.1.250. The problem is the WAN IP address, it needs to be configured? Can I just use the WRT54g as a Wireless access point which will just forward request to the firewall which should route traffic to the External Network?



Does this make sense?
