First, I use this device as a plain modem using pppoe(4) so I cannot confirm the following. What you want to achieve is dhcp_spoofing (the modem dials then forwards the public @IP to your connected interface). It should work out of the box except if your gateway is not is the same adresse space as your public @IP (which is often the case with some ISP) in which case dhclient will refuse to assign the default interface. Let's say you're modem internal @IP is 192.168.1.1, then after the modem is connected and you have your public @IP (using dhcp or statically ; here we'll it give the value of 145.1.2.3), try : $ route add -net 192.168.1.1 -netmask 255.255.255.255 -interface 145.1.2.3 -cloning $ route add default 192.168.1.1 Regards, -- Antoine
