external ip address

I am having problems configuring the external networking card. The internal card has the ip of 192.168.2.100. mask:255.255.255.0 What range should I stick on the external card. My router does not have a fixed ip but I access the router interface at 192.168.0.1. I am confused but slowly learning. Please help as I cannot get anywhere untill I have the network cards set up - Thanks a bunch,
Matt

Hi Matt,

why do you use 195.165.2.1 on your internal Network? This IP range is public!
I thing it will be better to use a privat IP range like 192.168.1.1 mask 255.255.255.0 for your internal network.

Check the settings at “Packet Filter” -> “ICMP”. Is “Ping from Firewall“ enabled?
Change your packet filter rule to source=any service=any destination=any (for testing).
Delete your NAT Rule any make a new one like this:

Name: Masq-Int-Out
Rule Type: Masquerading
Network: Internal (Network)
Interface: External

I hope that you can ping the Router from your internal Network now.

Bye
