Thanks for the thought but unfortunately it's actually on VLAN 1 but
m0n0wall's console shows the interface as vlan0!

I'm going to try and configure a test firewall (although I don't have
enough spare NICs to configure the three interfaces).

I'll let everyone know how I get on!

Many thanks,


                                Neil.
