Everything should Just Work as long as everything is on separate ethernet
segments. This is a rough drawing of how the firewall on my cable modem
is set up here at home:
|
---------
| Cable |
| Modem |
---------
|
| <- ethernet cable going to eth1
|
------------
| firewall |
------------
|
| <- ethernet cable coming from eth0 to
| the switch & the rest of the network
|
What are you using as the dhcp client on eth0?
