Examples

ADSL/Stealth


 
LAN PC ADSL non-NAT installation
Router has single subnet
PCs using real internet addresses
FireBrick not to use up an address
Internet Router FireBrick LAN PC
LAN PC

In this configuration the FireBrick operates in a full stealth mode, not using one of the addresses allocated by the ISP.

  1. The FireBrick will operate out of the box with no extra configuration if required
  2. PCs on the LAN must have the router address as their gateway address
  3. Access the FireBrick config from a PC on the LAN using http://my.firebrick.co.uk/
  4. Adjust filters as required
For clock setting, and any external communication from the FireBrick such as emailed logs :-
  1. Pick one of the PC addresses for a PC that is normally on
  2. Set this as the WAN stealth address in the setup menu
  3. Set the router address as the gateway in the setup menu
This example equally applies to :-
  1. Any installation with a router and a single subnet
  2. BT net start lines
  3. Existing network installations with a router
