Accessing 10.x.x.x LAN from home network behind a router

Feb 08, 2005 3 Replies

Hello,



I recently bought a Linksys WRT54G Broadband Router, and ever since, I've been unable to connect to the computers in our campus' 10.x.x.x network.



The current situation is this:



- The WRT54G gets a public IP address (82.128.x.x) from the Campus network from DHCP (PPPoE)



- I'm using the private 192.168.1.x network in my local home network (wireless and wired), computers get their (local) IP addresses from the WRT54G by DHCP



Routing table entry list is as follows:



Destination LAN IP Subnet Mask Gateway Interface



-----------------------------------------------------------------



213.139.183.242 255.255.255.255 0.0.0.0 WAN (Internet)
192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 0.0.0.0 LAN & Wireless
0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 213.139.183.242 WAN (Internet)


What I would like is to have the WRT54G to allow my computers inside my



192.168.x.x home network to be able to communicate with the computers in the Campus 10.x.x.x network. Is this possible and if it is, then how can I make it work?

I've tried some static routing settings in the "Advanced Routing" section of the WRT54G's administrative tool, but I'm practically clueless here and have no idea if the settings there are even related to the problem.



Any help would be very much appreciated.

The routing table has looked the same all the time (my advanced routing tests have had no affect on the table). I'm pretty sure the routing table was set by the router itself while I entered the basic setup (at least, I don't recall editing anything complex during the initial configuration).

You didn't us where the 10.x.x.x is. Anyway your routing table seems to me strange, doesn't it? Have you set up it by yourself? I mean, do they belong to the advanced routing configuration, or did the router set them asking you basic information?

You need a VPN, since 10.x.x.x addresses are not routable on the public Internet.
