I have a client with an SBS 2003 Server with one nic. They have bellsouth DSL and are using a Netopia Router. I want to install the Watchguard Router and this is the first time I have dones so. I have several questions:
1. Where does the watchguard box sit. I guess my only option is Netopia Modem / Router --> Watchguard Firebox --> Network Switch. Router cable plugs into one of the Watchguards wan ports and the cable into the switch comes from one of the lan ports. Is my thinking correct?
2. What do I need to configure on the Netopia modem/router for this to work.
3. What do I need to configure on the Watchguard Router for this to work.
I have setup many watchguard boxes with cable modems and have had no problem. I have never put one into place with another router.
