DHCP doesn't give right IP

I suspect that your laptop is getting its IP from another WAP - one with IPA=192.168.0.1, instead of your intended router. Probably a router in a neighboring house.

Claymore hath wroth:

That's not your DHCP server. Try changing the entire Class C network IP block in case you're getting your numbers from the neighbors. Something like: 192.168.5.xxx

Hmmmm... You apparently have two DHCP *SERVERS* running. One in the modem and one in the router. You can do that but if Tomato has DHCP passthru or proxy DHCP enabled, it's possible for the clients to end up getting their IP's from the modem instead of the router. Methinks it best to totally disarm the DHCP server in the modem, and rely on the DHCP server in the router. The DHCP *CLIENT* in the router should be unaffected.

OK, so it's not the unspecified operating system running on the client computers. That leaves the router and the modem.

Try this simple test. Disconnect the modem from the router. Power cycle the router. Flush the DNS cache on your unspecified operating system client computer(s). Get a new IP from the router with the modem disconnected. Does that work? If yes, then fix the setting in your modem. If not, then there's something goofy in the router.

You can also do some diagnostics using a DHCP tool:

There's also a similar Linux DHCP tool.

Tomato is now at 1.11.

Change the SSID of your router to make sure you are connecting to it Lots of folks leave the "Linksys" name as the default SSID, and it looks like you are connecting to someone else's Linksys Access Point.
