Ok, I think it's time for some debug output:
IP configuration of my NIC on my Gentoo machine:
# ifconfig eth0
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:30:4F:2B:32:D8
inet addr:192.168.1.2 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:66308 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:56775 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
RX bytes:63189031 (60.2 Mb) TX bytes:4926310 (4.6 Mb)
Interrupt:10 Base address:0xac00
and IP configuration of my m0n0wall:
$ ifconfig sis0
sis0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 192.168.1.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255
ether 00:0d:b9:00:76:7c
media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>)
status: active
I really think the IP config is ok.
When I say all ok, I mean I can browse the web, send emails etc..
(Traffic flows).
