Ok, I have thought about this for a couple of days, and I am still confused. Kurt (on the plug list) told me that if I have only one IP address, then give it to give it to the firewall. But between the firewall and the Internet I have a cisco 675 dsl router. What kind of address does it get? I cannot give it a private address because it *must* go in front of the firewall, right? My question is, if the firewall gets the static IP, what kind of address do I give the DSL router? Arghh, if only there was a linux driver for my Intel 2100 DSL NIC, this would be so much easier...
