Hi,

for a while a major factor for using DDWRT has been the ability to link multiple remote subnets using PPTP. I am having some trouble getting the WHR-G300N play along with this. I have a total of 3 sites with different subnets:
  • Home, subnet 192.168.2.0, WRT54g v2
  • Office 1, subnet 192.168.16.0, Linksys WRT54GL
  • Office 2, subnet 192.168.50.0, WHR-G300N


I have no problem with connecting Office 1 to home, here is the routing table of the home router
Code:

root@HamRoute:~# route
Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
213.191.xx.xx   *               255.255.255.255 UH    0      0        0 ppp0
192.168.16.1    *               255.255.255.255 UH    0      0        0 ppp1
192.168.2.0     *               255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 br0
192.168.16.0    192.168.16.1    255.255.255.0   UG    0      0        0 ppp1
169.254.0.0     *               255.255.0.0     U     0      0        0 br0
127.0.0.0       *               255.0.0.0       U     0      0        0 lo
default         lo1.xxx.xxx.xx 0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 ppp0


However, when connecting the second office (whr-g300n) the new connection looks weird:
Code:

root@HamRoute:~# route
Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
213.191.xx.xx   *               255.255.255.255 UH    0      0        0 ppp0
192.168.16.1    *               255.255.255.255 UH    0      0        0 ppp1
62.157.140.xxx  *               255.255.255.255 UH    0      0        0 ppp2
192.168.2.0     *               255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 br0
192.168.16.0    192.168.16.1    255.255.255.0   UG    0      0        0 ppp1
169.254.0.0     *               255.255.0.0     U     0      0        0 br0
127.0.0.0       *               255.0.0.0       U     0      0        0 lo
default         lo1.xxx.xxx.xx 0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 ppp0


The incoming IP (62.157.140.xxx) from Office 2 is not the public IP address that DD-WRT sees (84.178.216.xx), but rather another address of that DSL provider (Deutsche Telekom). Is this a provider issue?

Interesting twist on this situation:

I installed another WHR-G300N at a different location with a different ISP. It dials in, but registers with the old, static LAN address (192.168.2.250) I had assigned it a while ago:

Code:

root@HamRoute:~# route
Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
80.156.86.78    *               255.255.255.255 UH    0      0        0 ppp4 (WHR-G300N via T-Home)
192.168.2.250   *               255.255.255.255 UH    0      0        0 ppp2 (WHR-G300N via Arcor)
213.191.xxx.xxx   *               255.255.255.255 UH    0      0        0 ppp0
192.168.16.1    *               255.255.255.255 UH    0      0        0 ppp1
192.168.2.0     *               255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 br0
192.168.16.0    192.168.16.1    255.255.255.0   UG    0      0        0 ppp1
169.254.0.0     *               255.255.0.0     U     0      0        0 br0
127.0.0.0       *               255.0.0.0       U     0      0        0 lo
default         lo1.xxx.xxx.xxx 0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 ppp0


I would appreciate input on how to further diagnose what is causing this issue. Here's the routing table from the remote location:

Code:

root@DD-WRT:~# route
Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
88.68.xxx.xxx     *               255.255.255.255 UH    0      0        0 ppp0
192.168.2.1     *               255.255.255.255 UH    0      0        0 ppp1
192.168.4.0     *               255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 br0
192.168.2.0     192.168.2.1     255.255.255.0   UG    0      0        0 ppp1
192.168.2.0     *               255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 ppp1
192.168.2.0     *               255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 ppp0
169.254.0.0     *               255.255.0.0     U     0      0        0 br0
127.0.0.0       *               255.0.0.0       U     0      0        0 lo
default         dslb-xxx-xxx-xxx 0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 ppp0

A reboot on the router at location 2 (Subnet 192.168.4.0) appears to have solved that issue.
