Does anyone know of a document that would explain how to configure this firewall? I had it working, but it quit working, and I can't seem to be able to get it working again. I'm running it on an NT box.

There is a document out on NAI's web site, but it's not real detailed and makes a lot of assumptions.

Any help would be appriciated.

Hi,
I would like to know what document have you downloaded from the NAi site.
I can try to help in setting any particular configuration, if you can provide with information, like what probably are your requirements!

I have a LinkSys router with the WAN side connected to a cable modem, and the LAN side to the Untrusted interface on the firewall. The trusted interface goes to a NetGear 4 port hub. The WAN side of the LinkSys gets it's IP address via DHCP, the LAN side is 192.168.1.1:255.255.255.0, The Untrusted interface is 192.168.1.2:255.255.255.0. With the LAN side of the LinkSys set as the gateway. The Trusted interface is 192.168.123.65:255.255.255.192, and the Untrusted interface set as the gateway. PC's on the lan are in the 123.xx subnet with the Trusted interface as the gateway.

What other information can I give you? Like I said, I had it working at one point. I've even uninstalled and re-installed, but I still haven't gotten it to work again.

Thanks

Ok! Things are now a bit clear. Would you mind giving me information on what is your requirement. DO you want only browsing from in to out, or do you have some specific requirement. Like you have Public domains e.g. Web Servers, Mail Servers inside your network which you need the outside people to connect to.

The requirments right now are simple. Browsing secure and unsecure sites. FTP downloads, and on occasion, an FTP upload. Currently, mail is provided by the ISP via POP3 and SMTP. We use Outlook, or Outlook Express as a mail client.

Thanks.

You need to enable the HTTP, FTP, SMTP, POP3 Proxies . Enable them in the "Proxies" tab.
Now you need to Enable all the above Proxies in the "Internal Interface" (some tab I have forgotten) and configure especially the POP3 & SMTP to fetch mails from the respective Mail Servers.
At this moment do not create any extra Packet Filter Rules as you are using the Proxies.
On the client's machine you should provide the Internal IP of the firewall as the Gateway & also the as the Proxy server in the Browser properties.
Let me know if you require further help!
