here is my config.
all of my servers go out through a 8port switch to an antenna to my ISP.

I have everything on the firebox set up correctly as far as the external IP, gw and dns and I cant ping it. It seems to be talking, the light is flashing. To whom I have no idea.

Ive tried diff ports on the switch to no avail, I set up a test on each port and can ping the IP on the test machine. So its not the switch.

I've switched cables

I think its a conflict between the switch and the firebox. And its the only theory I cannot test without taking down the internet.

when I finally get it working it will be rewired to antenna/firewall/8port/.

and from where are you trying to ping it?

I assume you're trying to ping the internal interface or the firewall from a box on the internal network?

On a firewall you cannot typically ping the external interface IP from the internal network.

makes perfect sense

208.94.212.13 is the address.

to see if they see the address in use.

anyway its not working. I will have to call watchguard I guess.
