Note: dhcpd = the server daemon, assingns LAN client IP addresses dhcpcd = the client daemon, requests IP leases from the dhcp server
Does your cable modem have dhcp enabled? IOW, does it serve IP addresses to your clients *through* the RP114 (the RP114 built-in dhcp server is off?)
now you have posed a question I cannot presently answer. The RP114 is at 192.168.0.1 and I have 192.168.0.1 for dns in /etc/resolv.conf nameserver 192.168.0.1 This brings some enlightment. I need to change that after putting the WGT624 in line to see the dns.
Also, either router can probably be configured as follows:
a) a client to the modem's built-in routing capability and dhcp server. In this arrangement, the router acts like a switch, passing client IP lease requests to the modem for service. With this arrangement, the modem's LAN-facing IP is the default gateway and DNS.
b) (bridged?) with the modem's internal router/dhcp server turned off. With this arrangement, the *router* serves IPs via dhcp instead of the modem and *it's* LAN-facing IP acts as the default gateway and default DNS.
Maybe I'm very confused, but it seems this must be a simple thing... an oversight... I think it'll help to "zoom in" on these details for a closer look.
Yes, this may indeed clear things. I am away from home for a few and cannot make tests. I will return to list when able. Presently ssh'ing from son's house.
