Hi All,
I have spent WAY too long trying to get a Dynalink RTA100 ADSL
modem/router to do what it is supposed to, but the interface is worse to
nevigate than IOS is for a blind person.
And as I was doing this - getting frustrated at this POS unit - I found
a bug (methinks) with m0n0wall 1.1b7.
I managed to get the Dynalink POS to not act as a DHCP Server, and was
going to assign a static IP to the m0n0wall that is protecting the
internal network from this POS Dynalink unit. Unfortunately, m0n0wall
1.1b7 cannot work with a "static" WAN connection if you need only a
single IP - the maximum subnet is a /31, which isn't quite big enough -
I needed a /32. With the m0n0wall set to 192.168.1.254/31, it failed to
communicate with the Dynalink POS that was set to 192.168.1.1/32.
anyone else seen this, or a workaround?
In the meantime, I had to leave the Dynalink POS running as a DHCP
Server so the m0n0wall could obtain an IP vis dhcp.
