Just installed UT, can't pass any traffic

[neiby]

I just installed UT to check it out. I set it up in bridged mode, connected the external interface to the switch servicing our LAN and connected the inside interface to a linux laptop. I configured the laptop with an IP address from our LAN. I cannot reach any websites and I can't even ping other devices on the LAN.

I don't even know what to check now. I thought it was setup properly. Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Nevermind. For some reason, UT thinks my internal NIC is disconnected.

I'm not even getting a link light on the internal NIC. I've tried restarting the interface on the laptop and I've tried different crossover cables. I even tried a straight-thru cable, which I knew wouldn't work, and it didn't.

Right now, the internal NIC is set to Bridge. The external is set to Dynamic (wan). Is that correct?

that is correct, do you have a third NIC? You could try to switch the interfaces around. You will need to be in the advanced mode, interfaces, and cross looking icon means that you can move them around.

Hmm... I tried a different laptop and still could not get a link light. The UT PC doesn't appear to like the card I put into it. I bought a Linksys Etherfast 10/100 card today. It should be working, it's brand new. Maybe I'll restart the PC and see what happens.

I don't have a third NIC. I'm going to try rebooting the "server" to see if that clears the problem up.

Ah, I figured out the link problem. The boot on the jacket of the cable was stopping it from connecting all the way into the NIC on the UT "server". I switch to a non-booted cable and I have a link. Now to test it!

EDIT: Yep, problem solved! I'm passing (and filtering) traffic on this test box with no problems.

Hi I've been testing untangled also now contrary to you I do get the link light but I can't ping anything from my laptop. My configuration is the following:

Router/Firewall --> 192.168.4.1
External --> 192.168.4.5
Internal --> Bridged
Laptop --> 192.168.4.6

Firewall connected to external.
Laptop connected to internal.

Am I doing anything wrong?

Do you have any access lists or firewall features enabled on your router? Perhaps one of those devices is blocking ICMP.

Hi thank you for your help.

And no I turned off all of the services.
