I THOUGHT I understood this, but now I'm all confused.
We have a Linux software firewall that we want to put in a PVM to replace an existing physical router/firewall. A Mac Mini has two nics and Paralells.
So obviously I put the public WAN address on one NIC in the Linux software. That works: I can access it from the outside world.
The existing physical router has 192.168.1.1 on its LAN side. It serves DHCP to the rest of the network.
So, I would set the LAN side of the Linux software to 192.168.1.1 (taking down the physical router, of course) and enable its DHCP server. But that DOESN'T work - no access to the outside world from the Mac mini anymore.
Exactly what to I tell the PVM? Shared, bridged, what? And what do I tell the Mini in its Network Preferences?
