I recently decided to move over to a monowall based machine to act as my router, as my wag354g just seems to crash under any load or stall (doesn't give out ip address')

I currently have my monowall running (boots up, works ok, one nic is set to lan and the other, wan and the cables correctly plugged in accordingly) however im at a loss at how to convert my wag354g into a modem only box.

When it was the wag acting as the gateway i had it on 'PPPoA' however from what ive gathered this needs to be changed in order to use the monowall as the router.

In my wag i have the following options:

rfc 2516 PPPoE
rfc 2364 PPPoA
Bridged mode only
rfc 1483 bridged
rfc 1483 routed

which one do i choose so the monowall acts as the dhcp server/firewall/port forwarding etc?

On the monowall i have:

static
DHCP
PPPoE
PPTP
Bigpond

again, which mode do i select for it to work correctly.

I am on pipex solo 500 dynamic ip address service, if it helps.

Sorry if i have missed out on any essential info, im not very knowledgeable on networks.

Any input is greatly appreciated.
