Linksys WRT54G help
Posted: Sun Oct 09, 2005 12:27 pm
I've got a WRT54G (with firmware v4.20.7) which I'm currently using in Gateway/NAT mode. For my cable modem, this is fine, as I only am assigned a single IP address, but with my DSL I'm assigned multiple addresses, and I'd like to take advantage of that. My DSL modem will assign multiple (up to 254 I believe) publicly routable IP addresses via DHCP. If I plug in a switch and plug 5 computers into that switch, for example, I'll get 5 publicly routable IP addresses.
My question is, can I use the "Router" mode on the WRT54G to achieve a 1:1 relationship of public and private addresses? I.e., if I have 10 computers on the LAN side, can I have 10 public addresses on the WAN side (vs. a single one as I have now)?
I've tried turning on RIP, both just on the WAN side and on both sides, and it doesn't seem to work. This is what comes back as my routing table:
