I have a network with 5 PCs, 2 network printers, and one wireless handheld scanner. I was just running software firewalls but wanted to add a hardware firewall to up the security. I have no problems getting the network to work behind the firewall but I had to add a wireless router to allow the scanner to connect to the point of sale software.
The router is giving 10.0.0.x
addresses while the firewall is using 192.168.0.x
addresses. I tried hooking all of the wired connections to the router with the router connected to the firewall, but had no stability in the network. If I hook everything to the firewall I can't get the scanner to communicate with the WAN. How can I troubleshoot or fix this?
