1275239 2012-05-14 02:48:00 I have requested help from Chill on this one ... 'cause sometimes computers aren't logical ... :waughh:

I have connectivity via modem and have attempted to use the above router with Tomato Firmware to monitor usage by various users ... the router is not behaving itself and cannot connect through it.

I just know it's going to be something really simple and I'm going to end up kicking myself in the backside for no thinking of it ... hope this also helps some others out.

1275240 2012-05-14 02:52:00 OK so:
1) What's your DSL router make and model?
2) What's the IP Range of your DSL router
3) Can you bring up the WebUI of the Tomato router?
4) Can you see the WAN IP of the Tomato Router?
5) Can you see the LAN IP of the Tomato Router that it's giving out?
6) Do you realize that Gargoyle does per-device bandwidth limits / monitoring much better than stock Tomato?

:D

1) Using an older Linksys ADSL2 Model No ADSL2MUE which is connected now
2) Q .. Is that the DHCP Range ??
3) Yep ... can get into it. Just can't connect through it.
4) 192.168.1.3
5) 192.168.1.1
6) Could have told me THAT earlier ... can I change the Firmware again, if yes, is it the same process as Tomato ??

1275242 2012-05-14 04:15:00 Yeah Gargoyle is just the same, it's real easy to fire up the WebGUI and just "upgrade firmware".

Now, 4 & 5 need changing. Set the Gargoyle router to use something like 192.168.57.0/24 instead. A different range from the Linksys ADSL2+ modem. Then, it'll all magically work :)

1275243 2012-05-14 06:12:00 Thank you muchly Chill ... couldn't get it to save changes to IP's with the Tomato Firmware so changed to Gargoyle & everything seems to be working OK

Just have to set up the monitoring and see who's using what ...
