<div class=Section1>
<p class=MsoNormal>Hello all again,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>A networking challenge this time.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I have an XS at a school where there also exists a wide area
private network connecting schools using Wi-Fi. We want those connected schools
to be able to access the XS, for various reasons.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>That network (let’s call it network 2) is 192.168.1.0/24
and it is connected with the Internet via a router running NAT and DHCP.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The XS local network seems to be quite complicated, I don’t
fully understand it, but what I need to know is the correct slash designation
for the httpd and dns servers at 172.18.0.1 so that I can bridge it to network
2.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I am trying to use a Linksys WRT54G2 in DMZ Host mode with
the IP address 172.18.0.1 bridged to the external Wan IP address of the WRT (set
to 192.168.1.88)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The WRT LAN IP setting only allows netmask values of up to 255.255.255.0
and I am worried if there is a mismatch then it could be why I can’t get
it to work. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I also suspect I may have to add something to the apache or
routing config on the XS, so as to “listen” on the WRT external IP address
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>At the moment I set the Linksys to <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>WAN – fixed IP 192.168.1.88 / 255.255.255.0<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>LAN IP address – 172.18.0.88 / 255.255.255.0 (could
the net mask be the issue?)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Application: DMZ Host, value 172.168.0.1 <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Required changes to xs apache settings ??????
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Trying to connect on the network 2 side using a browser if I
enter 192.168.1.88 or 172.18.0.1 it just times out.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>If anyone reading this recognises what I am trying to do, I’d
very much appreciate your advice.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
