You are right eth1, and wlans are bridge by default. As soon as I change the default pvt ips to mine, the eth0 also get bridged up with bro0. This give collision of dhcps and no ips will be issued to any client every client has to manually feed in their ip addresses
as already mentioned, simply set eth0 to unbridged
and I asked the boss if this should be so that eth0 is automatically bridged. (it should not in my opinion)
its of great education here, I changed the settings and it is working fine. thanks buddy. I also configured it for proxy and it is great, to work without adds. Now I need help to configured it for vpn services for wireless clients only. I have open vpn of expressvpn provider. I tried to configured it through their file, it works but slowed it down to zero speed. I need your guidance in this prj. how to make it work to use vpn for wireless clients only. Secondly I also need help in attaching portable harddisk with the routers with some goodies for the clients to.
