It is either a single PC or a network on an additional NIC (OPT1) installed in the m0n0wall machine. You need to give the 3rd NIC an address on a different network to the other 2 NICs, and then follow the instructions in the webGUI. You just need to think your security needs out before implementing the DMZ, and google for some information on what a DMZ is, and how it should be used. The Documentation project for m0n0wall should be filling out soonish, and no doubt will cover the different ways to configure DMZs, and the reasons for these options. > is m0n0 Wall compatable with this: > http://www.mobl.com/expansion/pci/7slot3233/index.html I cannot see why it wouldn't be - all this box does is add extra 33 MHz 32 bit PCI slots to an existing motherboard with a single spare PCI slot. As you can imagine, adding multiple 100Base TX NICs (all running at 25 MB/sec, theoretically) will quickly chew up the 132 MB/sec of total PCI bus throughput, so after adding NIC number 5, you'll be gaining no additional performance in your router as the PCI bus will be crippling the throughput. This will occur faster with this expansion unit installed as I can guarantee that it will utilize a bit of the PCI bandwidth itself. -- Regards, Hilton Travis Phone: +61-(0)7-3343-3889 Manager, Quark AudioVisual Phone: +61-(0)419-792-394 Quark Computers http://www.QuarkAV.com/ (Brisbane, Australia) http://www.QuarkAV.net/ Open Source Projects: http://www.ares-desktop.org/ http://www.mamboband.org/ Non Linear Video Editing Solutions & Digital Audio Workstations Network Administration, SmoothWall Firewalls, NOD32 AntiVirus Conference and Seminar AudioVisual Production and Recording War doesn't determine who is right.
