Re: mrtg configuration
Hi, sebastaan
The mrtg contacts the gateway in your case 192.168.1.254 asking for the
statistics on trafic, normaly any router like Cisco or similar has the user
public define to give away that information. If you have a linux runing as
router you have to do the magic.
Cheers,
rak
PD: I haven't try that kind of magic yet, that's way I can't give you any
other advice. B) sorry
