Topic: Stupid Firewall question

[Rance]

Hi guys,

I've toyed around with SME for a while now and just installed SME 6beta3 as a firewall for testing a few things.  I used a cross-over cable from the Router (unused T-1...Really!) to the NIC and the other NIC for local (regular cable here) out to the hub.  All is well.  I put the 3rd IP in the address range for external, made the entry in my DNS server and created a website on a second SME 6b3 server (Server only setup) and forward port 80 to the local IP on FW.  Worked great. Then I added the 4th external IP in the Domains and Hosts menu, used Global/remote put external addess in right place and local address in the right place....looks like everything is right. I also changed the www address to the  4th IP in my DNS server. Will not work. Any ideas? I tried to provide as much info as possible, sorry so long.

Better choice of subject is Stupid person with a firewall question.  I've have searched and searched and still can't find the answer to this.  Any idea guys?

Well, first, "will not work" isn't very descriptive of what happens, nor of what you want to happen (which isn't at all clear from your message).  Second, as has been posted here innumerable times, all issues with the 6.0 beta should be sent to smebugs@mitel.com.

I'd suggest, if you contact them, that you explain what the "3rd IP" and "4th IP" are, what behavior you're expecting, and what you're observing.

Thanks for your reply, Dan.  Working about 18 hours a day, sometimes I don't make myself clear. I didn't send it to the bugs address as I don't think its a bug but "user error". and I didn't want to piss those guys off with what is I'm sure trival to them. I have a T-1 with an address range of 66.162.x.12/26. I want 66.162.x.14 to = www.domain1.com.  Address 66.162..x.15 to = www.domain2.com. and so on.  I am using 66.162.x.12 for the router and 66.162.x.13 for the firewall (SME6.b3). Everything I read in the searches on theses forums delt with multiple email.  I have 2 nic's on the firewall, one local and one external. I have another SME6.b3 server with a local address. I set both of the domains up in the domains and hosts menus. I put in the global address and the local address and set it up as local (also tried remote). I can get to www.domain1.com no problem.  I get domain1's website when I enter domain 2's url. I hope this is clearer.  I travel alot and I'm in a different timezone right now.
