Hi all,

Based on what I have read in the article “Part Six: WEP is for Wusses” I have a few questions;

– Set up the stub network

>>>We need to get Biggie running as an actual gateway. This means setting up NAT. Connect the machine up to the office network on the built-in ethernet port. <<<

Q: At this Point I will give it a static IP# of my LAN ex: 10.1.4.44, right?

>>>Then connect the PCI NIC, the 10 Mbps one that you installed yourself, into the AirPort Base Station. <<<

Q: What network settings do I need to enter for the second NIC?
Q: What settings must I enter for the Airport Base station?

– Set up IPSec on Biggie

>>>In our setup the secondary ethernet card in Biggie is 10.0.42.1. Biggie is giving out DHCP leases to all of the wireless machines on the network starting at 10.0.42.100 and ending at 10.0.42.149.<<<

Q: How do you setup and specify DHCP on the second NIC Card?
Q: What is the network subnet mask etc for the second NIC?

>>>For each wireless machine you’ll now need to add a shared secret. Add this to /etc/racoon/psk.txt. It would be advisable to use the same secret for all IP address just to avoid confusion.<<<

Q: In that psk.txt file, wemust replace asecretcodegoeshere with our in all 4 areas? what about the field with macuser@localhost somethingsecret ??

Hi,

I just wanted to add more info to my original post…
I would appreciate it if someone can give me more detailed info on the setup
with IP# and settings for the 3 steps….

———————————————-
My Lan settings:
———————————————-

– Firewall SonicWall 10.1.1.1 with NAT
– No Dhcp Server, all static addresses
IP#: 10.1.x.x
Subnet: 255.255.0.0
Router: 10.1.1.1
DNS: xxxx

———————————————-
The G3 as a Gateway:
———————————————-

NIC-To-Lan:
– Do I just assign a static IP ex:. 10.1.x.x or must I use another network?

NIC-To-Airport Base:
– What are the settings for the Airpot Base (IP, mode???)
– How or what becomes the Dhcp server…what settings?

Will these settings affect my stable Lan in any way?
All I want is to have all Wireless connections communicate via IPSec and have access to my LAn’s Firewall, Internet and Fileservers…

Thks
Leo
