Just kind of seeing where it takes me.  SOO then I wanted to improve my home lab security with a firewall appliance,  I did a little reading and i goot a lanner nca1515. The nicer one with 8 nics and 32 gb ram 500 gb drive intel denverton cpu. I cannot get the damn thing sertup, I have watched hours of videos, spent 40 hours beating my head against the wall. I am completely lost. I dont know whatr i am missing bhetween lan and wan. but im stuck and ready to break the thing. I have never posted in an eleectronics or network seecurity forum before but ill doo my best to include all of the  things,
