Re: Please help: Dynamic IP on Internet Zone

I think you are missing a point here.  The Internet zone uses your computer's 
configuration to find out where the route to the Internet is.  The IPs don't 
matter.  

Is the Local zone the same physical box as the box running the firewall?  If 
so, then you don't need IPs for that either.  If you have other boxes on your 
network, then they need to be either zones themselves or a part of a zone.  

My config. is almost the same as yours, so I know that what you want to do 
will work.  Just follow guard dog's way of doing things.
