You do not need the Linksys router if you are going to use ASL. ASL will be replacing your linksys router and ASL will give you much more capabilities.
Hi, I have the same configuration : - Linksys Etherfast DSL router (BEFSR11) - 10/100 NetGear Hub - ASL 2.0 with an internal eth (192.168.0.250) and an external eth (10.0.0.1) - and some computers behind ...
In the case I gonna explain, you just use the DSL Router as a "Connection and Routing Box" :
--> Setup the ASL (external eth) as the DMZ host in the router config --> Disable all Port Forwarding entries in the Router config --> Connect the Router LAN port to the External Eth of the ASL Firewall --> Setup your ASL as needed with DNAT, set the Router LAN IP as the default ASL gateway --> Connect the ASL Internal Eth to the UP port of the HUB --> Connect the rest of the machines to the HUB
In this case, the config of the ASL remains simple as it does not have to deal with DSL connections.
You can also use the logging capabilities of your router with the "logviewer.exe" utility by : --> defining a "ROUTER_LOG" service (UDP 162) --> enabling a rule for it (client="router LAN IP", service="ROUTER_LOG", Server="The machine on wich the logviewer.exe utility runs") --> Defining a DNAT entry for it (External Adapter/ROUTER_LOG --> Logviewer Server/ROUTER_LOG)
Do not forget to setup the destination IP (ASL External Eth) for the log in the router config !
Greg, Thanks for the info. I follow all of what you say except when I look in the advanced setup for the Linksys, I see that my only option is to set the last number in the DMZ IP address. (192.168.1.1 or 2 or 3, etc.)How did you set your DMZ to a different IP? Thanks, Frank
