Setup an ASA 5505

Should my vlan2 be configured as PPPoE?

Assuming the IP 192.168.1.254 is your router's internal IP (facing the ASA). Vlan 2 IP should be changed in the following line:

[code:1]ip address 192.168.1.254 255.255.255.0 [/code:1]

Change the IP to something like say 192.168.1.253, like this:

[code:1]ip address 192.168.1.253 255.255.255.0 [/code:1]

The route command is correct.

Second, your router is probably doing NAT. So there is no need to redo NAT using the ASA. But it should still work with it, using your current config. Tell us what happens with only the above change.

Hi there, I bought a new router - NETGEARDG834G v5 - the router IP is 192.168.0.1 and here is my config:

Why .253? could I put any other number in the range 1 - 255? is it just an ip address that is assigned by the firewall to the router?

I FIXED IT! WHOOOHOOO!

Now I need to know how to access the printer which is behind the firewall from a computer who connects wirelessly to the router then the firewall and then the printer - any ideas?

Yes, you can choose any number between 1 - 254.
