| 559753 | 2007-06-16 09:14:00 | I have been looking in my WRTs menu, so I can see what you see ;) Mine has no other options either... so I jumped into my WAGs menu with the default firmware and all that has about NAT is Enable or Disable so it will still be running. TBH I have no idea about PPP half bridge so... I can't really help you there... all the information I can give you, you can get too, off the net :p which you have been :) |

| 559754 | 2007-06-17 04:13:00 | OK so I've been testing the modem to see if that's the issue, but the PPP half bridge seems to be working fine, the WAN IP is forwarding perfectly, right now my laptop's IP is 202.74.etc.. I'm wondering if the issue isn't caused by the Linksys having no NAT on it? And so as soon as more than one person tries to use the connection, it may cease to work. I'm going to test that out now. | roddy_boy (4115) | ||
| 559755 | 2007-06-17 04:27:00 | OK so this is what the modem's log shows for when I unplugged myself from the modem (in half bridge mode), and plugged the Linksys in. It seems the PPP session dropped almost straight away too. 1 06/17/2007 16:25:57> Firewall received interface change notice. 2 06/17/2007 16:25:57> PPP1 Session is down. 3 06/17/2007 16:25:57> DNS: Remove IP address 202.74.207.100 (Auto discovered) 4 06/17/2007 16:25:57> DNS: Remove IP address 202.74.207.10 (Auto discovered) I went and had a look at the firewall settings on the modem, and it said "Firewall is not active when in half bridge mode" |

| 559756 | 2007-06-17 06:01:00 | If the WRT is set to gateway, there IS NAT working. And you need it in gateway mode because the WRT is hosting the net connection... No, the firewall will not be, it will leave it up to the hardware that is hosting the net connection (in this case the WRT) All I can think of is maybe try and E-Mail Linksys about it since the WRT is not playing nicely... |

| 559757 | 2007-06-17 06:14:00 | Yeah I am using the Gateway mode. I can't really try Linksys, as it's custom, unsupported firmware. It's weird. I have no idea what's causing the PPP to drop. |

| 559758 | 2007-06-17 06:59:00 | Ah yes, I forgot about that :blush: What about the DD-WRT forums? they will know more about it than here :p |
The_End_Of_Reality (334) | ||
| 559759 | 2007-06-17 09:24:00 | Yeah I made a post on there but haven't had any responses thus far. | roddy_boy (4115) | ||
| 559760 | 2007-06-17 09:27:00 | How have you found DD-WRT in terms of stability? I used it last year and found it would cause my router (WRT54GL) to crash at least once a day, often several times a day, for no apparent reason. I have since gone back to Linksys firmware and it seems fine now. | somebody (208) | ||
| 559761 | 2007-06-17 09:35:00 | Somebody, what version of DD-WRT were you using? I am running V23 SP2 and it is very stable, I have never had it crash... and there is data flowing (literally) 24/7 to various speeds etc | The_End_Of_Reality (334) | ||
| 559762 | 2007-06-17 21:04:00 | Might be my hardware then - I was using V23 SP2, and I even re-flashed it several times to remove that possibility. At the moment I'm just using my WRT54GL as a wifi AP, so the default linksys firmware is sufficient for now. | somebody (208) | ||
