Graham, I don't know your setup, but, generally, IP forwarding is only needed on the router PC, plus , some sort of NAT; normal WS do not need IP forwarding 2============================================== From: "Ian Manners" Date: Wed, 11 Jul 2001 17:58:32 +1000 (EST) Subject: [os2genau] News Groups Hi all I've been reading the comp.os.os2.xxx newsgroups via Google Groups for a while, and its a painful process to post something, as well as Goggle only update there mirror every six hours or so. I've setup SLRN newsreader but I have a problem, I'm connected directly to the net, straight into connect dot com dot au's pipeline, so what can someone like me do about a newsserver to connect to ? And please dont tell me to use connect's news server, that doesnt work for me :-( Cheers Ian B Manners http://www.os2site dot com/ In Case of Fire, Log off Promptly! 3============================================== Date: Wed, 11 Jul 2001 20:03:27 +1000 From: Ed Durrant Subject: Re: [os2genau] is ADSL the way to go ? Once the firewall software is setup correctly, the Workstations only need to hav their default router (sometimes called gateway) set to point to the address of the NIC on your internal LAN (not the one going to the ADSL modem). You need to configure both cards in MPTS and TCPCFG2 BEFORE installing the FX Communications software. The install program modifies the system configuration to put it's special driver in and this stops you changing things afterwards. NOTE: Some NIC Cards dont work with the FX Firewall !! I had problems when trying to use an old ISA Intel NIC although it worked perfectly under OS/2. The FX install went without problems but no data passed across the link. This could be the same problem you have. I know IBM cards work OK (at least the models I have). I'd steer clear of SMC and Acton. I don't thinks there's a list of tested cards but you could check the website. Hope this helps, if not email me your config files (tcpos2.ini setup.cmd protocol.ini resolv2 and the Injoy file) off list and I'll compare them with mine. Cheers/2 Ed.

For what it's worth - I've used an SMC and an Accton card with Injoy Firewall with no problems other than the SMC and Accton's wouldn't coexist if both were present.

Agreed it's a matter of both cards working together. Ed.
