It works on EFW-3.0 devel.

Connect adsl modem router lan interface to a switch and connect ur endian firewall red interface and a pc to this switch too.
Ok, set the red interface IP address to dhcp to get IP from modem router or static IP that its gateway is modem router lan interface IP address.
now ur endian firewall has internet connection.
what I want to say is to set ur pc IP address just like bellow :

pc configuration :
ip address : on the same netwrok which red interface is in.
gateway : red interface IP address

now just ping 8.8.8.8 ip address.
u have connectivity with 8.8.8.8 IP address.
it is fantastic!!!!!
how can i have internet for PC by this configuration??!!!

Quite frankly it is not standard practice to put your pc or network into the same ip address range as the WAN interface of your firewall.

The whole idea behind a firewall is to separate the external network from your internal network with the firewall doing NAT between them.

This is why there is a green and red zone - anything in either zone can 'talk' to each other but not from red to green or green to red unless you allow it with firewall rules.

Your 'test' doesn't demonstrate anything but a network behaving normally as it has a default gateway and the pc has an ip address in the same range.

Have a look under Firewall ---> Firewall Diagrams to see the way it works.
