Be more specific - what do you mean "cannot access internet"? 

Do you mean that you can't resolve hostnames? Try running
dig @127.0.0.1 www.google.com
to test hostname resolution.

Are you not getting an IP address assigned by DHCP?  Run ifconfig to check

Can you not ping your gateway?  Run ping {your gateway IP as it is in ifconfig}

Is your routing table correct? Run route -n

ok,

i can ping the external and internal interface
i can ping the internal devices by ip and dns
i can ping domains on the web and do a name resolution. tracert gives also valid answers.

if i put a domain in the web browser, it says "website found" but has a timeout after certain time. (only for external domains)

if i update the network settings through web admin, imm. it starts working

Hi,

Your interfaces aren't swapped are they?  eth0/eth1?

Just throwing it out there!

It would be useful if you described your internal & external network topology and what each devices is and how it relates to the devices its attached to.

Some questions;
Can you boot an MD successfully on your LAN side NIC? If you attach another computer to your LAN side NIC does it get a valid DHCP address? Have you got a 2nd DHCP server on your LAN side?

All the best

Andrew

Dear Andrew,

thanks for your questions. Expect this, the whole lmce thing is working as expected.

every device gets his ip adress and also is booing up pxe.

Stupid question, but have you restarted your cable/dsl modem since reconfiguring your network?  I've seen this in the past and it is required.
