I want to connect my personal machine to a DMZ server (which will run smoothwall). My personal machine will be connected to the DMZ with wired ethernet, and the DMZ server (with smoothwall) will be connected to my wireless router with a Dlink wifi card.

Do you think that Smoothwall will support most wifi cards?

How can I configure my personal machines ethernet(from ubuntu) to connect to the internet using my DMZ server's wireless connection?

thanks in advance-

have no clue what smoothwall supports, check smoothwalll website or run smoothwall and check the old fashioned way

if the DMZ will be using dhcp to assign IP's to you personal machines all you would need to do is use dhcpcd eth0 or whatever the hardware name of your ethernet card is on each personal machine----after they are setup with the ethernet card is actually working with a kernel module loaded for it

if the DMZ will be using static ip's then each personal machine would need a static ip-----use ifconfig eth0 <ip> <netmask> up
also add the DNS #'s to /etc/resolv.conf

have no freakin clue what GUI crap ubuntu has to do this, but im sure it can be done that way as well

as far as your DMZ server, have no clue what smoothwall can and cant do, but iwconfig is usually used for wireless networking, and it will depend on how your wireless network is setup, it will need ip forwarding and NAT running though, as well as some at the very least very basic iptables rules
