Hello,
I should soon receive the Asus 500gp and I can't wait to run Kamikaze on it. I think I have a quite common network configuration but still I have some questions. I am currently using a Speedtouch 585 as an AP/router/xDSL Modem and I will keep it to use it just as xDSL modem with my 500gp.
The network configuration will then look like this:
Internet ---- SpeedTouch ---- Asus ---- My network
The SpeedTouch has some firewall / NAT functions but I think I will not use them since I want all the configuration to be centralized on the Asus (openwrt). There are 2 possibilities how I cant set the network:
1- Possibility
I enable the NAT on the SpeedTouch and I translate all the ports to the Asus WAN iface:
Internet ---- (public IP)SpeedTouch --------- (192.168.1.0/24) --------- Asus --------- (192.168.2.0/24) --------- My PC
2- Possibility
The Speedtouch has a function " Assign the public IP address of a connection to a device" so I can use only the xDSL modem function of the SpeedTouch and assign the public IP directly to the Asus' WAN iface.
Internet ---- SpeedTouch --------------(public IP) Asus --------- (192.168.2.0/24) --------- My PC
Which configuration would you choose ?
Thanks for your advices.
