Re: networking with a DSL router

Hi all,

I bought an Ovislink SR-500 router/switch, but can't configure it.
It has a default address of 192.168.1.254, and I'm supposed to be able
to configure it via telnet at port 333.  Unfortunately I can't even ping
it.

My internet connection is up on ppp0/eth0 as I write this and I'm trying the following steps:

	ifconfig eth1  192.168.0.2
	route add  192.168.1.254 eth1
and route -n says

Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref
Use Iface
205.200.28.28   0.0.0.0         255.255.255.255 UH    0      0 0 ppp0
192.168.1.254   0.0.0.0         255.255.255.255 UH    0      0 0 eth1
192.168.0.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U     0      0 0 eth0
192.168.0.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U     0      0 0 eth1
0.0.0.0         205.200.28.28   0.0.0.0         UG    0      0 0 ppp0

When I try ping 192.168.1.254 I can see the light on the router
flashing but get 100% packet loss.  telnet just times out.
(the 192.168.0.0 stuff is from snort, I think)

I know next to nothing about networking and its manual assumes M$.
Does anyone have any ideas on where I'm going wrong?

TIA
Patrick.

AFAIK you must have your ethernet in the same subnet. Just putting in that route statement will NOT
work. You must change the IP on your machine to the 192.168.1.xxx subnet.
