| Connecting to modem on Tomato/MLPPP
I managed to finally troubleshoot and get my link to my modem (SpeedStream 6520) through my router (ASUS WL-500gP) while using Tomato/MLPPP 1.19-mp2. Hope this helps someone.
In Administration -> Scripts -> Init put:
Note the "10" in the above IP can be any number other than 254 or 255.
In Administration -> Scripts -> Firewall put:
(no breaks - all one line)
Then to access the interface or use DMT you can use the IP 192.168.254.254 and it works like magic.
While I do not understand what I am doing this is from the Tomato Wikibook (»en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Tomato_Fir···#Scripts) and some great help from Tempete  who helped me in another thread (»Re: Tomato/MLPPP v2 beta 2 released).
Again hope this helps another person get up and running. |

| Thanks :) (even if your post didn't work for me) ;)
I tried as you posted but no luck it didn't work. I think because you are using a speedstream 6520 with an ip of 192.168.255.255 if I read your comments in the thread »Re: Tomato/MLPPP v2 beta 2 released) correctly. Instead I followed the link in your post to the wiki and with that got it to work with my speedtouch 516v6 that has an ip of 192.168.1.254
To get it to work I had to change the ip of my WRT54GL from 192.168.1.1 to something not on the same range as the modem. No luck getting both working on 192.168.1.x. The other option if you don't want to bother with this stuff is to simply plug your wan into your lan and then plug the 516v6 modem into the lan instead of your wan.
Login to Tomato click basic:
Where it has "Router IP Address" change it from the default of 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.2.1 > Click save bottom right.
Change your TCP settings on any and all computers. Mine are now ip address 192.168.2.x subnet 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.2.1 (the new ip address of the router).
Then back to the router.
In Administration -> Scripts -> Init put:
Click save bottom right.
In Administration -> Scripts -> Firewall put:
Click save bottom right reboot your router.
To get to the speedtouch 516v6 enter 192.168.1.254 |

Forgot to add that my home IP network is 192.168.2.x - and that it must be different than the modem's IP. So as long as you have chosen a local IP that is different than the modem's default or assigned IP you are golden... |

I'm having the same problem here connecting to my modem (516v6 ip 192.168.1.254) from my tomato router (WRT54G v1.1 ip 192.168.2.1). Have tried many of the scripts listed in various threads, some are split in two parts init and firewall section, some are placed just in the firewall section. Can't seem to connect. Tried copying beamer69's script, he seemed to have a similar setup as mine:
"Where it has "Router IP Address" change it from the default of 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.2.1 > Click save bottom right.
Change your TCP settings on any and all computers. Mine are now ip address 192.168.2.x subnet 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.2.1 (the new ip address of the router).
Then back to the router.
In Administration -> Scripts -> Init put:
sleep 5
ip addr add 192.168.1.10/24 dev vlan1 brd +
Click save bottom right.
In Administration -> Scripts -> Firewall put:
/usr/sbin/iptables -I POSTROUTING -t nat -o vlan1 -d 192.168.1.0/24 -j MASQUERADE
Click save bottom right reboot your router.
To get to the speedtouch 516v6 enter 192.168.1.254
said by beamer69
Also tried changing vlan1 to br1 as mentioned in another thread but no joy.
Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks |

| When you go to the device list on TOMATO/MLPPP do you see your modem listed ?
Once you can see it there you have success.
Can you directly connect to the modem and get an IP ? You may need to confirm that your modem is at the 192.168.1.254 address (may have been changed in the past).
Right off the bat I do not see the problem in your script. I do know that for me the modem shows up on br1 so that is why I have br1 in my script. But do not rely on my word as I am relatively new to these iptables scripts that are posted. |

1 edit | Yes. I tried to connect directly and it worked on 192.168.1.254. Also was able to connect with DMT tool at that address (when connected directly.)I don't use DHCP, all my pc's have a static ip assigned in the 192.168.2.xx range. No,I hav't seen the modem in the router's device list, so I guess there's still a problem. |

Any reason why this would not be working for me. I got a Speedtouch 546v6 and a WRT54GL router. Put in the script in Init and Firewall but I still can't access the modem (yes I rebooted the router also).
This is what I put:
In Administration -> Scripts -> Init put:
1. sleep 5
2. ip addr add 192.168.1.10/24 dev vlan1 brd +
Click save bottom right.
In Administration -> Scripts -> Firewall put:
/usr/sbin/iptables -I POSTROUTING -t nat -o vlan1 -d 192.168.1.0/24 -j MASQUERADE
Also, I don't think I see the modem in the device list of Tomato.
I see my computer (br0), and the wireless connection from the laptop (eth1) |

Those are formatting elements that DSLR put in for quoted code and are of no use in the scripts. |

This actually made it work. I can access the modem and DMT works.
Thanks.
For reference purposes, here is what the script looks like:
In Admin+Scripts+Init:
And then in Admin+Scripts+Firewall:
(the above in one line).
Thanks guys
EDIT: Oh, I forgot to add that the Device List now shows my Modem on it. |

I would like to lay claim to the 192.168.x.10/24 being the cause of all success of connecting Tomato/MLPPP to modems ;-) In my original post I said that it could be any number that was not a number that could be assigned by DHCP and work yet people are still using "10" !
Glad to hear that it works. Just one more person to troubleshoot... AFAIK |

Well tried again tonight, still no go. So I unplugged the router and connected directly to the 516v6 modem. Can't connect now. Weird, so did a main re-set using the little button, still can't connect at 192.168.1.254. Tried setting up the modem with the setup disk, this thing see's the modem, lets me set it up with the basics, bridge mode, password,the 0/.35 thingy. When its done it trys to connect to www.dsldevice.lan and fails. Reconnect the router and my connection works to the internet. Why can't I acces my router anymore ? |

I'm running the latest Tomato/MLPPP firmware on my wrt54gl. I used this script to access my st516 through my router. I have it under Administration -> Scripts -> Wan Up.
ip addr add 192.168.1.1/24 dev br1 brd +
/usr/sbin/iptables -I POSTROUTING -t nat -o br1 -d 192.168.1.0/24 -j MASQUERADE
Works like a charm for me. |
