Got a problem you all might be able to help with.
Here's my setup:
DSL>DSL modem in bridge mode>Linux firewall/router(YDL3.0.1 with Shorewall)>LAN hub
All the computers (4) on my LAN are connected to the hub, the firewall is set to allow any local traffic thru, and all other computers on the ethernet are able to access the internet without a hitch.
Got a new Airport Express to act as a wireless point for the house via the local ethernet as well as to allow distribution of music to the living room. I'd like to have this allow any wireless clients to be like any other node on the ethernet.
When I use the standard DHCP setup to connect to the express, I can ping any computer or interface on the LAN, but cannot get out past the firewall (unknown host error). I have tried bridging (it's fairly poorly described near as I can see) and think this may be the way to go, but also got nowhere as I am not sure how to set up the IP addresses. I know it's a routing problem, but cannot figure it out. Can anyone help?
