Hi all,

I tried a lot and haven't found a real solution yet. The problem i'm experiencing is as follows:

I have a SpeedTouch (510i) DSL modem which I have set up in DHCP spoof mode. This means that the network card from the firewaal connected to the modem is getting the external IP-number (via DHCP). This in itself is no problem but the gateway address that is used is on a different subnet then the IP-number of the externel interface. With older distributions (MNF and so on) I never had a problem. The DHCP client added a host on the external interface and a default route to this host.

The more modern Distributions and EFW2 seem to be unable to coop with this. I can add the route information manualy and it works fine but why can't this be done automagically? I tried to fill in a static IP number with the gateway in the webinterface but it was also complaining thet the gateway was on a different subnet.

Is anyone else using EFW2 with a simular setup? How did youo solve this? Or are newer Linux kernels (and DHCP clients) unable to do this?

I hope someone has a sulution since I'm willing to switch to EFW2 (from MNF) because of the looks and feels and the options (OpenVPN). I'm just missing a blacklist for the firewall.

With Kind Regards,

 

Marc Fellman
