Re: [Home Network] Need help with WGR614 v6 Netger Router and SB

said by NormanS:

Method B:
... Router is set to a static IP address, and configured with 192.168.1.64 on the WAN port.
How did you determine the 192.168.1.64 address? ('Sorry, I'm new to networking and I'm just trying to understand .. I have the exact situation as keliason) Thanks.

It is the only IP address in the range of the SS4100 which passes unsolicited packets to the connected device; i.e., it is the modem DMZ IP address. You can use any IP address from 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.255.254, as long as the address you use doesn't conflict with the LAN IP address range. However, P2P, and other types of applications which expect to receive unsolicited packets WILL NOT WORK properly.

You can find the SS4100 DHCP table on this page:

»192.168.0.1/techreadout.htm

These are the lines from my SS4100:

119   LAN DHCP Server Enabled   true
120 DHCP Subnet Mask 255.255.0.0
121 DHCP Start IP Address 192.168.1.64
122 DHCP End IP Address 192.168.1.64
123 DHCP Default Gateway 192.168.0.1
124 DHCP Default Lease Time 000 days 00:10:00
125 Domain name
126 DHCP Leases Allocated 1
127 DHCP Leases Available 0
The other point to remember is that your LAN IP address must not overlap the modem IP address. That means that if your router default LAN IP address is 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0, you need to change it. Because looping back to 192.168.1.64 can be useful, your router LAN IP address should be 192.168.>1.0/255.255.255.0.

EDIT: Needed to add the reference to the "DMZ", else the statement would be incorrect.
