After listening to Security Now (with allot of it unfortunately above my head) I decided to build an mini ITX computer and install Astaro Security Gateway Free Home Edition. Just to let people know my background is medicine not computers so I am sorry if I seem a little naive.
I have installed it on the mini ITX machine. The hardware setup I have is as follows:
Internal Network (eg desktop) > Netgear Wireless Router (WNR3500)>Astaro eth0>eth1 ADSL modem
The initial problem that is holding me back is that I cannot connect from the internal network (desktop) to ASG.
I can ping the cable router but cannot ping the ASG.
Desktop IP details are 192.168.2.105; Netmask 255.255.255.0; Gateway 192.168.2.100; DNS server 192.168.2.100. I assume these are the settings that I should have?
Would it be correct to think that the problem is with the cable router communicating with the Astaro box?
I have connected the ethernet cable from the desktop to the cable router ethernet port. Then the internet port on the cable modem to the eth0 port on the Astaro box. Silly question but is this correct?
Thanks
Damien
