I'd forget the DHCP relay, i think this could cause more trouble than it's worth.

Are you putting the Watchguard in for your own training, or to beef up your network security? Can you turn off the router part of your ADSL router/modem? I ask this because otherwise your going to have lots of fun with double NATing.

Edit: This explains double NATing better: http://support.iprimus.com.au/index....517&Itemid=214
Relay - ok no worries. Loolks like a bit of re-jigging of IP addresses then!

Training / Security - Err - a bit of both to be honest. We use these on customer sites so just trying to gain a bit more knowledge but fell at the first hurdle!

Not sure how to disable the router part of the Linksys.

The other issue is that it's a wireless router and I want to keep the wireless part enabled - I know it won't be protected by the Watchguard...
