Hi list, tought isn't easy setting-up a dmz ? Well..nor at all (for me) My config is as follows: modem--->boxA=router/firewall/proxy---->switch---->mylan and also from boxA----->dmz--->web-server.
boxA is equiped with 3 ethernet-cards: ppp0--->eth0, eth1, eth2. The modem is initialised from boxA with pppoe. The firewall is disabled for testing/setup purposes but can do dmz. (arno-iptables-firewall) All cables are straigted except the one connected from boxA to the server (dmz) = crossed cable. On boxA: -/etc/network/interfaces: auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto eth1 iface eth1 inet static address 192.168.1.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 network 192.168.1.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255 dns-nameservers xxxxxxxxx dns-search yyyyyyy auto eth2 iface eth2 inet static address 192.168.2.254 netmask 255.255.255.0 network 192.168.2.0 broadcast 192.168.2.255 dns-nameservers xxxxxxxxx dns-search yyyyyyy auto orange iface orange inet ppp provider orange # is setup in /etc/ppp pre-up /sbin/ifconfig eth0 up # line maintained by pppoeconf -ifconfig shows lo eth1 and ppp0. -route shows the route to internet-provider A '/etc/init.d/networking start' give an error about eth2: eth2: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device. The 'lsmod' give : mii 5536 via_rhine, 8139too, 3c59x The 3 cards works. The internet connection seems on (checked syslog). but can't establish a connection 'links www.debian.org' nor from any other workstation. What did i wrong ??
