Smoothwall 3.0 Noob Migrant

[Kahn_au]

Hi guys,

Firstly appologies for the noob post but the more indepth firewalling has me lost. My setup has moved and the smoothie fell over for some reason =. Let me explain my internal network layout and hope that you can tell me where i went wrong.

As setup on the smoothwall btw:
WAN 10.0.0.2 ( Modem on 10.0.0.138 PPPoE never seemed to work =\ )
Internal Lan 192.168.1.0/24
Servers 192.168.3.0/24
Wireless Clients 192.168.5.0/24

Can someone point me to how I would manage this to confirm if my networking skills have failed me yet again? I beleive I ran into problems with the two OPT interfaces as the LAN interface worked fantastically.

Cheers,

Kahn

Could you desribe what the problem is?

For some reason CPU utilization spiked and it appered as if there was a ethernet loopback but there was nothing detected by PFsense - perhaps i should try rebuild the config so we can post it and work from there?

You dont make much sense.

maybe you should describe:

1: what you have. (hardware, existing network layout)
2: what you want. (intended network layout)
3: what you already tried
4: what went wrong  or doesnt work as expected.

There is no point in throwing wild guesses about CPU utilisation around.
