The Watchguard Firebox has two implementation modes, one is the usual
(like a router), the other a "drop-in mode". In this mode, the box acts as a
bridge and thus has the same ip address on all interfaces. So the internal
clients route direktly to the external router, not to the firewalls ip address;
this is why you see the ip address of the external router in the internal
network.
