| ZyWall 10 not getting wan dhcp
Hi, I'm a bit stuck with my zywall 10. I've set it up as a nat router/dhcp server, and set the wan part to be dhcp client. Everything works, except the wan port on the zywall does not get a dhcp address (from the linux router i've plugged it into, and which is working flawlessly). If i set a static wan ip, i can ping it from the lan side so the nat is obviously ok. Link light are on both on the wan and the switch and hub i tried it on. What is wrong/am i doing wrong? Thanks in advance. Sven. |

| Wooha! That worked instantly. Thanks a lot! I'm planning to put the device into a customers network, and have it vpn my linux router at home to give me access to a separate network containing a bunch of PLC's for their production line, which i need to manage remotely. Without them letting me have an extra dsl line, and of course they wont open ports for me either. Now i can get started on the vpn setup. Thanks a lot! |
