I recently installed an Actiontec GT701wg DSL modem. Behind that I have a
Linksys WRT54G wireless router w/4 port bridge. On my LAN I have 4 wired
systems and 2 wireless systems connected to the router all obtaining their
IP's from it. All systems access the internet fine. The router obtains an
IP address from the DSL modem (192.168.0.3) which differs from the subnet
it offers to it's children and sets itself up as a gateway for them
(192.168.1.1) The router uses the DSL modem as it's gateway
(192.168.0.1)
The problem herein lies that each can talk to each other and each system
can access the net but each system cannot have their servers accessed from
the net. (if you follow). 3 of the systems run full servers (email, https,
ftp, telnet, etc)
I have spent hours trying combinations of port forwarding so that requests
to these services are routed properly.
I believe the split subnets to be a factor though I did experiement using a
wireless system to use the modem as it's access point. The server on it
were still not world readable.
The makers of each device are unwilling to help.
Anyone here both willing and capable to offer practical advice?
