Sophos UTM Installing issue

So im pretty new to all this internet security I have never really had viruses or anything like that been very careful however i don't really care to have my pc's networked with my new roommates to i decided to setup a firewall UTM.

My setup is :
Intel Atom D2550
iStarUSA S-0212-DT with 120w psu
4gb DDR3-1866
64gb OCZ-Vertex 3 SSD

and here is my layout:

Now I have it all hooked up and no matter what i do i cannot get my pc to talk to the UTM. If i connect it to just the modem then to a pc directly with a crossover cable it works fine i can get in a configure it but once in that configuration i get nothing at all. Any tips for a nooby like me? am I missing something?

Hi,

You shouldn't need a crossover cable. Very old switches sometimes have an MDI/MDX (iirc) button which crosses the wiring.

I don't see how you are isolating your network from your roommate's; you should add a 3rd NIC to the firewall, and put the WiFi on that NIC, and use a different subnet, and firewall rules protecting your LAN.

I was going to use wireless isolation on my wifi-AP im re-purposing a Netgear WNDR3700 for an AP. that would do it right, or is that not enough?
