This article is not very illuminating. Try to explain the concepts in different words ADDITIONALLY, starting with: "in other words" .....

It could be an easy example to learn how this bridging works.

i.e.


Computer MIKE:is connected to a 192.168.c.d network. Now I browse to http://10.0.0.138/ and I will be connected?

Shall MIKE use 10.0.0.138 as a gateway?

Please, folks! Make us some good example pages!

Getting Modem Config to work

The commands as listed in the original wiki article did NOT work for me. After checking a few other websites, i found the following settings / commands that worked for me:

FYI: a) I'm using WRT54GL, DD-WRT v24beta (6/20/07)

1. set your router IP address to 192.168.1.1

2. set your modem IP address to 192.168.2.1

3. On you DD-WRT control panel, go to administration>commands

4. Type in "ifconfig vlan1:0 192.168.2.2 netmask 255.255.255.0" without quotes and press <Save Startup>

5. Type in "/usr/sbin/iptables -I POSTROUTING -t nat -o vlan1 -d 192.168.2.0/24 -j MASQUERADE" without quotes and press <Save Firewall>

Note: Yes, ur modem ip address is 192.168.2.1 but the ip address in the startup script is 192.168.2.2, and the ip address in the save_firewall script is 192.168.2.0

Now, you should be able to access the modem page via the router by going to 192.168.2.1

Hope this works for you.
