Re: Re: [OT]ish Router +modem problem



Hi Peter,

The numbers have changed since January and now seem to make sense.

The routing table did not display properly and I'll try formatting how
I think it should look:
Destination	Mask		Gateway		Metric	Active
192.168.1.0	255.255.255.0	192.168.1.1	1	Yes
192.168.2.0	255.255.255.0	192.168.2.102	1	Yes
0.0.0.0		0.0.0.0		192.168.2.101	1	Yes

I would quibble that the final "Metric" value in the routing
table is
wrong because it's two hops away from the Internet, not 1, but I don't
think that's the problem.

I'd be interested in the output from TRACERT on the PC for both
gateway address and an internet address, e.g.:
tracert -h 4 192.168.1.1
tracert -h 4 192.168.2.101
tracert -h 4 212.58.246.94

Also if the modem has an option to turn off NAT then do so.

Interesting the logs confirm that the router is talking to the
Internet because DYNDNS is sending you an error message:
Sat, 08/27/2011 02:41:16 - DYNDNS.ORG: The update changed no settings, and
is considered abusive.

You ought to
a) Check that you have the latest router firmware that handles dyndns
corre=
ctly.
b) Disable the routers dyndns settings before doing too many reboots
otherwise dyndns will block your account.

Nick.
