Let me explain a bit about my network, I hope this helps and doesn't confuse everyone. I will change the ip's for safety reason. But you should be able to follow along. My router is a Linksys, it might be the problem. It is BEFSR41 Version 4.3. I got in and set it up for PPPoE with my user id and password. I connect I get the wan ip of 47.216.14.229, Now I give my router the ip of 47.216.17.87 with a subnet of 255.255.255.240. Now my boxes are on the same 47.216.17.86/28 network. I go in the router and turn off NAT'inng. I can from my linux box ping 47.219.14.229 but I can't ping any thing belong it.
Have you tried using the "static route" option? Here AT&T (formerly Bellsouth) seems to use the exact same setup. You are assigned a dynamic IP to the WAN and the modem is configured for the static routes. They use a Netopia ADSL modem and I've found it to be a pain to use anything else.
The Questions...
Does anyone know of a good cheap DSL Router that I can set my gateway ip and it will allow all my other ip's to go out, and do PPPoE? I was told that some people flah linksys routers to get it more use. Does anyone know what the software is and a link to the page? It's most off the shelves routers are for people with no static or one. Oh, the range for the router needs to be in the $50 to $80 range, I might be able to go as high as $100.
Does anyone have a Linksys BEFSR41 and more that one static IP? Have you gotten yours to work?
If I can't get this done with router what would it take for my linux box to be able to do this. It currently has two nic, one is 47.216.17.88/28 and the other is 192.168.65.2/24. Does I need a third Nic? Would this be wise, would the other computers be able to get out?
The firmware you talk about is called DD-WRT developed primarily by Sebastian Gottschall (brainslayer) you can check it out at www.dd-wrt.com One of the more popular routers for that use is the Linksys WRT54GL, around here it cost approx USD 60. That firmware (and some of the earlier linksys on the WRT54G series... now they run something else because they can save 30 cents a router by halving the RAM) is running Linux and you can manipulate iptables any way you want. The WRT54GL variant keeps the higher amount of RAM and flash but even the newer, more crippled, variant can run the basic DD-WRT firmware. If you are buying a new router I suggest you get the GL variant. Of course there are other routers that can run the DD-WRT firmware and there are other firmwares for these broadcom-based routers (such as OpenWRT, Tomato, etc). Sorry I can't be of further help I never spent much time getting the multiple IP working on router other than the one the ISP provides but it should be possible.... Here is the info I am talking about: http://www.dslreports.com/faq/15901 but I think it should be possible with your current router and getting the static routing setup.... have you tried to ask the ISP for some pointers? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
