Hi all,
I'm new to ASL, migrating from smoothwall. I am very impressed with the look and feel; however the config is quite detailed and complicated.
I got it working but lost acces for my dns server, mail etc. All stuff i will work on.
My question is more one of theory:
I have an alcatel adsl router (speed touch pro). It gets a dynamic IP from the ISP, i then have it doing a nat command (defserver) to send all traffic to the firewall (in this case, as the router is 10.0.0.138, i set the ASL eth1 at 10.0.0.1). Then I set the internal (eth0) as 192.168.0.1 and the network uses 192.168.0.0/24. RJ45's go from adsl to firewall (eth1) and from firewall (eth0) to hub. This gets me net access with the http proxy, but i am unsure if it is the right way to do it. Plus i can't seem to get my dns server to be able to talk to the root servers on the net.
Has anyone used an adsl router set up as i have? I know it works, but i can't get my head around the theory.
If I do Masq'ing, is it gonna use the 10.0.0.1 address? Or the ISP's dyanmic.
I'm off to explore ... but any tips are always great.
