Hello.

I have two networks connected with a TINC-VPN-Switch (on a Raspberry-PI).

I replaced my old AVM FritzBox 7170 with a WRT-Router (TP-Link TL-WR841N - 12.09, r36088).
The other home have still a Fritzbox 7390.

And added all portforward-rules on the wrt.

Execute this command

route add 192.168.0.0 mask 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.253

on one of the Windows 7-Clients.

And a test-ping 192.168.0.1 was successful :-)

But I don't like to add the static route on any of my devices.

And I add the static routes (like on picture 2) also on the wrt router (picture 1).

I saved the settings and restarted wrt and windows machine.

login with ssh on wrt:

root@ccw:/etc# ping 192.168.0.1
PING 192.168.0.1 (192.168.0.1): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 192.168.0.1: seq=0 ttl=62 time=59.364 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.0.1: seq=1 ttl=62 time=59.051 ms

works also fine :-)

But

ping 192.168.0.1

on the windows machine failed :-(

I tried again and again with

ipconfig /release & ipconfig /renew & ping 192.168.0.1

But no way...

What I have maybe missed on config?

more technical background
Routers are with 192.168.x.1
Raspberries with TINC-VPN are on 192.168.x.253
