Hi,
This is version 5.22.
I posted this in the Hardware forum with no luck, so I'm posting it here.
I am using static IPs to connect to my provider first of all, and not via PPPoE, so I had to set up my external NIC to be a "Standard ethernet interface". It is up and running fine with the appropriate IP address.
But, I can only connect to the internet if I use Proxies or setup my packet filter to "any" in the destination field. Connecting to the internet using Packet Filtering will NOT work if I choose the "DSL address" in the destination field as it should. I've checked countless times, and the "DSL address" is the right one as it corresponds to the "DSL Interface" which is now up and running as it should be as a "Standard ethernet interface", as noted before. There are no other rules set. And like I said it will work if I choose "any" as the destination.
Note: The packet filter is setup with the source being the "internal network" and services set to "any" in all cases. I have not setup any groups. I am of course using the ASL firewall internal network IP as my local machines gateway, and have vaild DNS IPs as well on my local machine.
This makes absolutely no sense. There is no other address or interface for it to go to other than the "DSL Address" of the working DSL interface. You'd think it would work if I told it exactly the right destination, but NOOOO! [:S]
The connection works just fine using proxies, but the point is I should not have to use proxies, should I?
Please help!
Patrick
