[Rdo-list] snat and my WRT54G router

[John Alway]

Dan,

I set everything up the way you mentioned.  The network I have labeled
"external network" is marked as an "extnet".  By which I mean, in the
Dashboard, under "Network Details" for my external network...  It has an
entry "Provider Network-> Physical Network: extnet".

I allocated a pool in the range 192.168.1.13 to 192,168.1.99 (I did this
because two of the computers on my physical network are 192.168.1.11 and
192.168.1.12).

The virtual router has an IP address of 192.168.1.13 on the external
network, and the public_subnet on the external network has a gateway of
192.168.1.2.

You're right about my physical router.  Its address is 192.168.1.1

I tried pinging from a VM to the Internet, and it still fails.

I then tried allocating floating IPs to a VM, and it still failed to ping
the Internet.

  So, I'm still not solved

Thanks for your feedback!

Regards,
...John
