<html><head></head><body>1) You've hijacked a thread by replying to an unrelated email. Don't do that. Send a new message instead. More people will see your message that way.<br>
<br>
2) You haven't told us what kind of firewall you're using, so the email is equivalent to:<br>
"I have a truck with problems. I tried installing some Ford accessories but it made it worse. What car should I get?"<br>
<br>
We need specific details about how your firewall is configured before we can hope to help you.<br>

<pre class="k9mail">I have home network with dedicated firewall box (smoothwall) that <br />assigns reserved IP addresses based on MAC addresses of any network machine.<br /><br />I need to find a way to configure things so that when I lose the RED www <br />inet input connection to said firewall it doesn't hang up normal home <br />network use by other workstations.<br /><br />Right now as long as inet is there all works normally however if I drop <br />the public inet input everything seems to hang up. It seems to be that <br />specifying the firewall box as dhcp server as well as gateway is OK as <br />long as it can have full normal dns access to the outside world but gets <br />bogged down when the outside world dis appears and it has to rely on the <br />gateway as a local caching dns server which does not appear to be <br />working right.<br /><br />tried to use bind9 at one time but that ground this to a total halt for <br />some reason; anyone have a link to good solution?
