redwall is not that well known when it comes to linux firewalls (not listed on distrowatch.com), smoothwall and monowall are far more popular,
is there any particular reason you decided to try redwall ? I myself use smoothwall express 3 and love it so would be more than happy to help you configure that distro,
but as regards RedWall, you'll need to give more info about exactly what the problem you are having in order for us to help

can you ping the folllowing ?
ping 87.248.113.14
if you can, then you have DNS problems and you need to correctly specify the nameserver (ip address)
to do that, (assuming you stayed with the default 192.168.0.1 ip address for smoothwall)
login here https://192.168.0.1:441/cgi-bin/interfaces.cgi
and point the DNS and Gateway settings: to your ISP's DNS.
cheers
