I wish to use utTracestar, a Windows-based tool to check signal strength on
a wireless UTD.
While this tool works fine when connected to a workstation, it is more
tricky to setup if using a firewall.

Static IP addresses are not an option as we run DHCP and PPPoE
(i.e. IP is assigned by the ISP on connection)


Under IPcop firewall, a way exists to specify the IP address of the WAN NIC.
I would like to know if it is possible to do this under M0n0wall.

IPcop instructions are as follows :-
	Edit  /etc/rc.red 
	Find these lines (search for 1.1.1.1)
	Change to (1.1.1.1 ->192.168.250.1 in one location)
 Code:
    #system ("/sbin/ifconfig", $netsettings{'RED_DEV'}, "1.1.1.1",
      system ("/sbin/ifconfig", $netsettings{'RED_DEV'}, "192.168.250.1",
   #"netmask", "255.255.255.0", "broadcast", "1.1.1.255", "up");
     "netmask", "255.255.255.0", "broadcast", "192.168.250.255", "up")

Any ideas would be appreciated.

TIA . . .  Robin.
