According to your advice I changed LAN IP address to 192.168.1.2 (not 192.168.2.1 as you said), because I know so my IP address of ADSL-modem is 192.168.1.1 and my PC and notebook are in the 192.168.1.x range.
Unfortunatelly, I do not know how I can refresh IP setting of router, that is why I rebooted it to commit changes.
As you can see above, my router cannot get WAN side IP. Any idea?

Please change youre router to 192.168.2.1 you cant run 2 dhcp servers on the same network range and reload the ip adress of all the pc's connected

all connected devices are now 192.168.2.*

Hi back2basic,


I did exactly what you said, I set up 192.168.2.1 IP address of my router, after that I set up ADSL settings in /etc/config/network. Here is significant part of that config file:

#### LAN configuration
config interface lan
option type bridge
option ifname "eth0.0"
option macaddr "00:1A:92:B4:46:4E"
option proto static
option ipaddr 192.168.2.1
option netmask 255.255.255.0


#### WAN configuration
config interface wan
option ifname "eth0.1"
# option macaddr "00:1a:92:b4:46:4f"
# option proto dhcp
option proto pppoe
option username "myusername"
option password "mypassword"
option keepalive 10

However, after reboot nothing happened, I do not have ADLS connection yet.

To tell the truth I do not understand few things:

1. What is the point of I set up 192.168.2.1 IP address? Why would be good 192.168.1.1?

2. If I am listing running process (with ps), why I can't find pppd or something like that?

3. Should I create an ppp entry in /etc/config/network file?

By the way, I have a workaround theory, it is just an idea: I downloaded latest web if (webif_latest.ipk), since I hope so, if I could manage to set up LAN/WAN/ADSL settings via web if, I would see the proper settings in /etc/config/network file too. That is why I copied ipk file of web if to USB drive with NTFS filesystem. Could you help me how I can mount that? I tried:

mount -t ntfs /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1 /mnt/usb
and
mount -t vfat /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1 /mnt/usb

(I had created /mnt/usb)

but I did not have any success, mount is failed.


P.S.: One more strange thing I experienced, if I release 'ifup wan' command, I get this error:

"Interface type pppoe not supported."

you should be able to mount a usb stick make sure its formatted fat16/32
then mount /dev/scsi***** /mnt/usb should work

rest of the answers are coming still @work progress them later

OK, my workaround works: I have x-wrt web if on 192.168.1.1. Nice and detailed interface I am absolutelly amazed. Good work!

I found Network Configuration and I set these up:

LAN: connection type - static IP
type - none

WAN: connection type - PPPOE
type - none

Only if I modify last one and choose 'bridged', more options will appear.
So I could set connection datas, then I saved and applied changes, but while the router is committing changes, shows this error message:

"/sbin/ifup: export: 6: CONFIG_--help_ifname: bad variable name"

Hi back2basic,



could you attach your config file (/etc/config/network)?
