So, I did some testing on my Windows laptop with a static IP set, connected via Cat 5 to my client bridge router. And guess what? Low and behold, when the client bridge router is power cycled it completely loses DNS also and the static route doesn't ever get reinstated. I can see the network interface come back up in Windows (animation in the tray) once the router is plugged back in, but whatever routing table that was between the 2 dd-wrt routers gets hosed when the client bridge router gets cycled. If set to DHCP, there's no problem. I'm not sure if this is just the limits of having a client bridge setup and having a main router serve DHCP to the wired clients on the client bridge router, or if it's some DD-WRT bug. Btw, in Client Bridge (Routed Mode) the Network Address Server Settings (DHCP) in dd-wrt option goes away, so it looks as if the main router will always be the one to serve DHCP. I thought about trying to see if there was an option to have the client bridge router be a DHCP server but that's not possible. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
