Hi Pete, On the 302G with the newer aussie spec firmwares this problem does not exist (using dhcpcd anyway), the modem also requires that you acquire a lease, rather than setting the IP statically as this is what it uses to establish the half-bridge. I am using the DSL-302G in Australia and New Zealand at around 8 business sites and running OpenVPN tunnels over it with success. The best place to get info on these modems is on the bigpond forums in Oz as they were the modem Telstra shipped with new connections. Regards, Andrew Pete wrote:
More details on this process are on the WLUG site : http://www.wlug.org.nz/DSL-302G Scroll down to near the bottom, where it talks about "half-bridge mode".
Wow, I stand corrected - obviously there are other modems out there that can do it.
BTW - you the HOW-TO mentions problems obtaining a second DHCP lease from the modem (even for the same MAC address) - I'm wondering if setting the linux box to use a static IP (assuming your DSL IP is static) would get around that problem...
Regards, Pete
