Long time ago when I first setup a linux box, I shared the dialup
internet connection on my Windows PC to the linux box. The only way I
could get it to work was to set the Linux box IP address as a static
address and and set gateway and Dns to the IP address of the windows
Box. Maybe if you set the nas to static IP and the DNS and gateway to
the IP address of the router, you may get to the outside world?
Tim,
That's how I've had it ever since I bought the NAS Box 15 years ago. It
has worked fine through at least four different routers and two ISPs
ever since, until now. I only changed it to DHCP because the Netgear
manual said to do it that way.
