Set DNS servers and your domain name, under the services:
<pre>&lt;dns domain="yourdomain.tld" resolvers="217.169.20.20 217.169.20.21"/&gt;
</pre>
 
= LAN Subnet =
 
comment="Temporary IPs for setup only, delete when finished configuring"/&gt;
</pre>
Save, and re-connect to the web interface.
 
= PPPoE =
&lt;port name="LAN2" ports="2"/&gt;
&lt;port name="LAN3" ports="3"/&gt;
&lt;port name="WAN4WAN1" ports="4"/&gt;
&lt;interface port="LAN1"&gt;
&lt;subnet comment="dhcp client"/&gt;
&lt;/config&gt;
</pre>
By default the PPPoE will be used as the default route, saving this config should mean you have an internet connection!
 
= Filters =
You may only want to allow access to the FireBrick webserver from your LAN, do this in the http service, eg, change the current line to:
<pre>&lt;http allow="90.155.1.1/28"/&gt;
</pre>
 
= Native IPv6 =
 
Your computers should then get IPv6 details. test on http://ip.help.me.uk

= Next Steps, Bonding a Second PPPoE Line =

== Set up second PPPoE ==
 
Set up port 3 to connect to the second line you have, ie:
<pre>&lt;ppp port="WAN2" username="abc@a.2" password="secret" comment="BT ADSL" graph="BT ADSL 2" log="true"/&gt;
</pre>
and change the port from:
<pre>&lt;port name="LAN3" ports="3"/&gt;
</pre>
to
<pre>&lt;port name="WAN2" ports="3"/&gt;
</pre>
If you prefer, you can rearrange the ports so that they are in sequential order etc...
 
We now have:
 
*Port 1 = LAN
*Port 2 = Spare
*Port 3 = ADSL Line 2
*Port 4 = ADSL Line 1
