dmz and dhcp

[pomah]

Hi guys, I’m new to all of this so please help out, I have read the documentation but I’m still not able to do what I want.

I have an ISP that gives me a dynamic IP. My tv is through the ISP supplier, and the cable box needs to receive its own IP straight from the ISP.

So what I want is that the last port (5th) will not be part of my network, it will be (bridged?) to the wan port so that eth1 (wan) and eth5 will act like a switch in between.

I hope I have explained this clearly enoght, maybe there is an easier way of doing this. I use the webinterface to make all the changes, so please have that in mind.

Create a dedicated bridge for that and put ether1 and ether5 as member ports of that bridge.
Also move all ether1 related configurations (dhcp-client, nat masquerading etc.) to the bridge.

Could you please be more detailed? Tried to add bridge, it all ended with me not be able to access the intenet through the wifi.
