Quick Question about SmoothWall

[quackers]

Hi all,

I'm thinking about setting up smoothwall 2.0 on an old p2-266 as a dedicated hardware firewall. At the moment my cable connection goes into my router then onto the pc/xbox360 etc.

Would it be possible to configure it this way?

Net ->modem -> smoothwall -> Router -> Devices

I'm just wondering if i'm going to run into problems doing it like that?

Thanks for the replies, i'll look into it properly over the next week or so.

The problem i can arising is down to the IP addresses, i would imagine smoothwall would want 192.168.0.1 and so would the router.

I'm not sure if i could set them as static addresses, i'm wondering if that would cause a problem.

edit: I've just had a quick look at the router settings, i can set it to a static ip. I think i'll fire up the p2 and see what happens
