Thanks for reply sai.
I tried rebooting the modem several times without success?
However, after rebooting modem and mono for several times (could be
hundred times :-) ), configuring mono from clean floppy, downloading
and installing V 1.11 with same results, finally I found a work
around. Bad news is that I don?t have a clear root cause of the
problem. Here is a brief summary of what I did?
I got the idea to try WAN on another NIC. My former router was using
the embedded Intel Pro NIC (fxp0 in mono) and since I know different
NIC (i.e. MAC) may be an issue with ISP or cable Modem, I wanted to
use the same Intel NIC for mono WAN port. But, at my nth try
clean-installing mono, I noticed the order presented at the console was
LAN sis0
WAN sis1
Then at the interface assignment the order was:
Fxp0 xx:xx:xx (Intel embedded)
Rl0 xx:xx:xx (PCI Dlink 530)
Rl1 xx:xx:xx (PCI Dlink 530)
On my previous trials, I was assigning fxp0 for WAN, rl0 for LAN and
rl1 for opt1. Hmmmmm?.then I tried fxp0 for LAN, rl0 for WAN and rl1
for opt1. VOILA!!!
Now I get a WAN gateway on status page and I can ping beyond mono. To
confirm the problem was something related to the Embedded NIC (or its
configuration for WAN), I did another clean install and configured the
fxp0 as WAN, rl0 as LAN and rl1 as opt1. Once again, there was no WAN
gateway and I cant pass beyond mono. Finally went back to the work
around configuration (rl0 as WAN) and mono is working properly now.
As I wrote before, I don?t have a clear root cause of the problem :-S
:-(. Based on log messages?..when using the fxp0 as WAN, there was a
valid DHCP pack received from ISP (ip, WAN gateway mask, dns etc) but
for some reason mono was not using the gateway provided. When using
rl0 as WAN, a similar DHCP (but different ip) package was received and
mono was using the provided gateway.
Clueless....Any ideas?
Thanks,
Eric
