Firmware v1.8.1.7 CR2 [Oleg] - updated ( CR2a )

[Oleg]

Is it possible to config a seperate Firewall for W-LAN and LAN?

No. Downgrade to 1.7.x.x if you need this.

hi together,

i run the 1.8.1.7-2 Firmware by Oleg.
the situation:
A few days ago i swaped to another isp. i had to configured my wl500g with a static ip which shows to the DMZ ip of the router from my new isp.
(before that -ppoe-, everything was working fine)

1st BUG is shown here:
http://wl500g.info/showthread.php?t=1057
it is not the important one, but after power off...pls read yourself.

2nd BUG:
on monday i want to download a guest ticket for linuxworldexpo here in frankfurt. tried hp.com, but down...hmm...okay afterall i downloaded my ticket from suse.de sponsord by novel.
yesterday i tried to download adobe acrobat reader from adobe.com, but down(no ping or anything else)..hmm...fuck. first i tought it is a routing or dns problem from my isp, but its not, it is the wl500g.
Explanation:
the first point i figured out was that both adresses (hp and adobe) have an ip adress starting with 192.XXX.XXX.XXX. afterall i connected my computer directly to the sdsl router/modem(same ip, same dns), and what sould i say. my computer is connection perfectly to the adresses shown above.

so i thing there sould be a problem in firmware to handle with 192' ip adresses AND static ip. can somebody pls confirm that?

somebody who has a solution?
thx in advance for all quotes.

ps: sry because of my bad english.

Can you tell us what your netmask is, both on the router as on you linux box?

Another question: Why have you configured the first modem/router to place the WL-500g in DMZ instead of using bridging?

Can you tell us what your netmask is, both on the router as on you linux box?

both should have 255.255.255.0 but because of the first bug(see pic in the thread for the first bug) im not sure if it is saved on the wl500g, i don't thinks so because it showns 255.0.0.0 (see this pic). but that should not be the problem or?

that is the only methode i can connect without port lockings directly to the blackbox, the router from my isp doesn't offer any other mode. but maybe i have to try that. but on the other hand it sould work, like i configured it, or not?!

@styno
in briging mod the same problem

It seems to me that every address starting with 192.xxx.xxx.xxx is considered to be on the LAN by the modem/router. Try changing the netmask to 255.255.255.0.

If you configure your modem/router to do bridging then you can use MAC spoofing on the Asus router to let the ISP think the Asus is the router (e.a. the WL-500g has the same MAC as the modem/router). That should work.

i can't enter my router/modem. first of all its not allowed. 2nd there is no reaction if i ping or if i try telnet to it. so that doesn't work.

i tried that many times before. but it changes by itselfs to 255.0.0.0 thats why i think there is a bug.

its awful when an advertising is loading from a server which i can't enter, i have to wait for the time out and then the whole page is loading.

if i let receive the wl500g the ip adress by dhcp(Automatic IP) everything is working fine.b

[Oleg]

Yes, this looks like a bug. Can you please post an output produces by

nvram show|grep netmask

[xlephant]

hi oleg,

thx for your answer, here the code:

[root@(none) root]$ nvram show|grep netmask
wanx_netmask=255.0.0.0
lan_netmask=255.255.255.0
wan_netmask=255.0.0.0
dr_staticnetmask_x=0
wan_netmask_t=255.0.0.0
size: 8483 bytes (24285 left)
wan0_netmask=255.0.0.0
wan0_netmask_t=
lan_netmask_t=255.255.255.0
sr_netmask_x=
wan0_pppoe_netmask=

[Oleg]

I can't check code right now, try this as workaround:

nvram set wanx_netmask=255.255.255.0
nvram set wan_netmask=255.255.255.0
nvram set wan_netmask_t=255.255.255.0
nvram set wan0_netmask=255.255.255.0
nvram set wan0_netmask_t=255.255.255.0
nvram commit
reboot

And check if it helps you.

hi oleg,

thx a lot that you try to help.
but I'm sorry your workaround doesn't really work. the code changed the subnet but after typing in the static ip 192.168.1.16 and a reboot the router changes the static ip to 1.1.1.1 and the netmask to 255.0.0.0 (in the wan&ip page) in the statuspage the ip is correct but the netmask is set to 255.0.0.0 (but i can connect to internet except the known pages like adobe.com etc). if i now restart or turn off the router the settings from the wan&ip page are activated and i have no access to internet because of the static ip 1.1.1.1.

any idea? thx in advance...

[Oleg]

You need to execute this commands right after configuring static IP and pressing Apply. Any succeeding changes in the web iface will noop netmask - this is not permanent.

okay I think i have a possible temporarily solutions for you

do the steps oleg said: (except the reboot)

nvram set wanx_netmask=255.255.255.0
nvram set wan_netmask=255.255.255.0
nvram set wan_netmask_t=255.255.255.0
nvram set wan0_netmask=255.255.255.0
nvram set wan0_netmask_t=255.255.255.0
nvram commit

go to your status page, disconnect from wan, and reconnect
netmask should be okay, till reboot then you have to apply the stuff again

I have tested same setup as you did, and got the same shit.. netmask 255.0.0.0 and IP in the setup page was 1.1.1.1

[xlephant]

@oleq and antiloop

thx a lot the last solution is working for me(now i can enter adresses like hp.com and adobe.com with 192er ips).
i created a script for the code and save it by flashfs (thx oleg).
do you guys know a way how to change the static ip by code? then i will put this in my script, and let it start automatically after reboot or power off. this should work, or?

[Oleg]

Please clarify: which address range you've specified for lan?
