BEFW11S4 + dual NIC computer + ADSL 1

[slipperyskip]

I dropped a dual NIC computer-EPIA CL10000-between my ADSL modem and BEFW11S4. I'm having a time trying to punch out to the Internet. I'm sure it is an IP address issue, too many DHCPs. I just want to use the Linksys as a simple wired/wireless hub. Any help? Thanks in advance.

I guess I don't understand why you put the pc "between the adsl modem and the router , just run the ethernet cable from the adsl modem to the input port on the linksys wireless router and then plug your pc into the spare switch ports on the router , also you don't need 2 nic cards to accomplish this only 1 connection needed .

Thanks bcastner for the link. I was able to modify the info for my needs.

vipergg: I wanted a hardware firewall solution instead of a software one. Yes it would have been easier to just let the Linksys take care of everything but this solution "physically" separates my internal network from the Internet. Thanks anyway.
