OMG – I am so happy I found this forum. For the past 4 days straight, I have been trying to configure the Astaro Security Gateway and I just can’t seem to close the deal. If anyone has any advice, please let me know. At the point, please make the advice as simple as possible as I am just about fried from all of this
Equipment:
Standard Cable modem – ISP gives it out free – I think it might be a RCA model
Router: Linksys WRT100
Firewall: Astaro running on Dell Dimension 2350 – on board Broadcom NIC and D-Link NIC
Server: Windows Home Server handling DHCP and file sharing
Desktop(s): 1 HP desktop running WinXp
Laptop(s): 2 HP laptops using wireless and 1 Gateway using wireless
Switch: NetGear 16 port 10/100
ISP: Insight (Louisville KY)
Home IP scheme:
Astaro – Eth0 (LAN): 192.168.1.50, SM 255.255.255.0, GW: ???
Eth1 (WAN):
Router- WAN: DHCP from ISP
Internal: 192.168.1.60, SM 255.255.255.0, GW: no option
Server: 192.168.1.70, SM 255.255.255.0, GW: 192.168.1.50
IP range: 192.168.1.100 – 192.138.1.125, SM 255.255.255.0, GW: 192.168.1.50
Here is what I have tried and didn’t work:
1) Cable modem > Astaro eth1: let cable modem provide IP (usually a 74 or 216), eth0: 192.168.1.50 > router WAN port > router port to switch > rest of network
This is the way I want it to work as it handles ALL traffic in and out of the network (assuming I am not hacked via wireless)
2) Cable modem > router WAN port > router port > Astaro eth1: 192.168.1.61 > Astaro eth0: 192.168.1.50 > switch > rest of network
I couldn’t get this way to work either
3) Cable modem > Astaro eth1: let cable modem provide IP (usually a 74 or 216), eth0: 192.168.1.50 switch > rest of network including router
I couldn’t get this way to work either
If I open the logs, I can see where my PC sends commands to the Astaro – example: PC opens IE, Yahoo! – Astaro will finally time out looking for the DNS request. I feel that the DNS section is set up correctly. What I feel the issue is I cannot figure out how to make eth0 (LAN) talk/pass through to eth1 (WAN). When I try to setup the GWs in the network interface section, it tells me I can only use 1 GW.
Any ideas on how to set this up?
THANKS! - Erik
