Thanks everyone for assistance and suggestions. The above configuration is basically what I have in place. I configured the WGT624 to us 192.168.0.3 as a static ip and to use 192.168.0.1 (RP114) for DHCP. I did have some fun with jumbled routing until then :^). Can now ping all addrs and can access configuration of each router. The WGT624 shows two attached devices as it should, both computers and the RP114 shows four devices, both routers and both computers. I have access both ways to both computers :^) The only potential problem I see would be booting and the RP114 assigning addressess differently :^(. I do not see a manner to assure that the two computers and the WGT624 *always* receive the same addresses. again, thanks to all for your efforts. - -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.4-svn4472 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFHGhFoClSjbQz1U5oRAkgmAKCY0fEM0LrDnDMTA6m+4sIJP5CW5wCgpI41 rQ/42/ZMEtVG9n2HxtTqNCA= =dz0V -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Thankyou, this is basically what has been done. Only exception is the ip addrs assignments. As I said before, my only worries (apparent worries) are that I do not understand how to assign particular addrs with the RP114 router.

tks,

I think the bad news is that the RP114 does not do MAC related IP address based assignment via DHCP, but the good news is that that the WGT624 seems to have this capability.

Yes, if the WGT624 was fully functional. It does not provide a functional DHCP service, broken. That *is* the reason for this exercise, unfortunately.

Have you attempted to flash the firmware? A dangerous move maybe but it is possible that the firmware has been scrambled somehow.

I have downloaded firmware for the WGT624v3 and will install it shortly and report back. Appears to be rather simple operation. Their docs give conflicting information. There is a menu item to allow saving the configuration (which I have done) and restoring from disk and the docs say that you have to manually copy and rewrite ?? Guess I will find out.

And find out, I did. You loose the port forwarding information, ssh, email, http, bit-torrent, vpn.... , but easily replaced as it is rather standard, even using high ports. You win the cookie :^), reflashing the router bios/firmware (update in this case) solved my problems with DHCP. My wife thanks you. More personal interface available ($$$s). :^) and I have now my third ip addr in the last 6 or 7 years :^) thank you, - -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.4-svn4472 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFHHQSCClSjbQz1U5oRAl+eAJ0WNZUFqFPLIdzdjHWOy8bet5RshACfYi63 H0iHsIs/YCa7qVcIw6R9nrs= =Bd8r -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

My Netgear wireless router, WGT624 v3, crashed. The wired section no longer provides DHCP. In order to provide service (wireless) for my wife (and maintain a generally pleasant environment) I replaced with wireless with an old Netgear RP114, long out of service.

I now have modem to RP114 to base computer and using another port on the RP114 to input on the WGT624 provide wireless to my wife's computer.

Addressing on the RP114 is 192.168.0.1 and my box becomes 192.168.0.2 Netstat shows connections also from 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.1 (which *was* the WGT624 addr).

udp 0 0 192.168.1.2:30724 192.168.1.1:domain ESTABLISHED udp 0 0 192.168.1.2:51408 192.168.1.1:domain ESTABLISHED

I have changed /etc/resolv.conf to use 192.168.0.1 as nameserver.

Ipconfig on my wife's computer indicates it is 192.168.1.3 with a gateway of 192.168.1.1.

I cannot ping 192.168.1.[1-3]

What changes do I need to make to connect with samba via my home network, or is my only choice spending $$$s.

192.168.0.1 192.168.0.2 Modem --> RP114 ---> MyComputer \ \ WGT624 --> (Wireless) ==> Wife Computer 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.3

I can access the WGT624 from my wife's computer, but not the RP114. I can access the RP114 from my computer, but not the WGT624

at least not at my knowledge level :^)

tks,

a) For an environment involving 2 or 3 machines DHCP is more likely to give grief than any benefit, static addressing is probably easier to maintain. I know DHCP seems easy but there are some hidden pitfalls in DHCP which the naive can fall into. If you wish to continue using DHCP make damn certain that only one device is supplying addresses, otherwise you will playing network address lotto.

I disagree. If she's using wireless, chances are good that his wife's computer is a laptop and she uses it more than just at home. Static addressing is only good when the machine never leaves its spot. He'll get more grief from his wife than from his network if she always has to change her IP address setup every time she leaves or returns to the house. -- ---Bryen--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
