FVS338 Secondary LAN and Firewall rules
Hey all -
I'm trying to setup a secondary LAN for my private network (keeping DHCP separate and on the standard 192.168.1.1) so that I can create DENY rules on my fileserver. However when I change my server's IP address to static, in my new secondary LAN (192.168.20.*, 255.255.255.0) I can't make my firewall rules work.
I've changed the IP address to static on the server and set it to my new .20.5 address. After a reboot, I can ping it fine but none of the services are responding from the WAN, even after editing my firewall rules. I even tried deleting and re-creating them, same result.
Am I missing something important about the secondary lan concept?
Thanks.

- I should add that devices I statically assign to this second subnet are unable to access the internet at all. So that's probably more the problem than the firewall rules not working.
- your gateway is not 192.168.1.x on server
