RE: ADSL with E-Access & GOL

Hi.

Great.

Yes and no. Eaccess' ip address is dynamic so you have to keep finding out 
what it is if you want to access your box from the outside. And if you are 
using a gateway you will be getting private ips so you will need to set up 
the router to do some port mapping/forwarding stuff.

And I believe gol also blocks some well known ports so you can't set up a 
web server either.

No settings at all. The firewall/gateway is plugged into the router and the 
LAN. That's it. Just had to set up DHCP client and server software onthe 
FreeBSD firewall, configure it and that was pretty much it.

If that's too vague just ask specifics and I'll be happy to anser :)
